WEDGE-1.0

Introduction

The WEDGE program was produced for helping the MOCADI program. For separating a secondary beam from a large mount of contaminant beams produced with the projectile fragmentation method, the magnetic rigidity analysis and energy-loss analysis are used, usually. In the method, a wedge-type degrader is inserted at a dispersive focus in an achromatic ion optical system. This program calculates wedge angles of the degrader for the achromatic and monochromatic modes. The achromatic mode gives the smallest beam size, therefore it was used for secondary reaction experiments. The monochromatic mode gives a broader beam size but smallest beam energy deviation, therefore it was used for the ion implantation experiment.

How To use WEDGE program

The WEDGE program was installed in the GSI alpha-cluster. Since the program uses the energy loss spline data calculated by ATIMA, it is necessary for executing the command procedure kp2$root:[iwasa.mocadi]setup.com (as ``@kp2\$root:[iwasa.mocadi]setup'') before using WEDGE. The command procedure sets the following logical names and creates the command WEDGE as well as the command MOCADI.

$ def/nolog mocadi_data kp2$root:[iwasa.mocadi.data], kp2$root:[iwasa.mocadi.spline]
$ def/nolog mocadi_exe kp2$root:[iwasa.mocadi.exe]
