Abstract
Calibration of the probes (consisting of a magnetic loop, turns on the accelerating chamber, and an electrostatic signal electrode) used to measure the current circulating in the accelerating chamber of the 15 MeV betatron is reported for various phases of the acceleration. The calibration was carried out in the working part of the accelerator with a current of electrons which had undergone a single revolution in the chamber. Results found in a calculation of the sensitivity and other probe characteristics are reported. A method is described for measuring the current involved in the acceleration by means of turns on the chamber and an electrostatic deflection of electrons. Recommendations are given for the use of probes to adjust a betatron.
