Beam Physics Seminar
One of the main physics programs of the CLAS collaboration
is the study of nucleon resonances by detecting
multi-particle final states. The continuous beam of CEBAF
allows for coincidence measurements with negligible
amount of accidental background. But these experiments
also require ability to identify different particles using the
time-of-flight technique with time resolution better than 300psec.
The two-nanosecond structure of the CEBAF beam is utilized to
perform the calibration of the charged particle identification
in CLAS. An EPICS application was developed for on-line monitoring
of the time characteristics of the beam in Hall B. It allows for
determination of different frequency components of the
beam current in the range from 1MHz to 14GHz.
