Abstract
FOR a long time, it has been the practice among nuclear physicists to take “radiographs” with beams of accelerated light nuclei to determine the location of detector targets and magnet edges relative to the position of the beam. Sharp outlines of even thin objects, for example wires of 1 mm diameter, could be clearly seen with their edges flanked by a bright line outside the edge and a dark line inside it.
