Abstract
Experiments on the detection of γ rays generated in the 13C(p, γ)14N reaction at the Novosibirsk vacuum-insulated tandem accelerator were carried out. Owing to the updated detection system, it was possible to measure the energy spread of beam protons and develop a method for long-term stabilization of the slow drift of the beam energy. The measured energy spread was 1.20 ± 0.15 keV, which was only 0.07% of the total beam energy. This makes the tandem accelerator developed by the vacuum-insulated Budker Institute of Nuclear Physics an attractive tool for solving various research and applied problems.
