Barrett, The Honors College Thesis/Creative Project Collection
Barrett, The Honors College at Arizona State University proudly showcases the work of undergraduate honors students by sharing this collection exclusively with the ASU community.
Barrett accepts high performing, academically engaged undergraduate students and works with them in collaboration with all of the other academic units at Arizona State University. All Barrett students complete a thesis or creative project which is an opportunity to explore an intellectual interest and produce an original piece of scholarly research. The thesis or creative project is supervised and defended in front of a faculty committee. Students are able to engage with professors who are nationally recognized in their fields and committed to working with honors students. Completing a Barrett thesis or creative project is an opportunity for undergraduate honors students to contribute to the ASU academic community in a meaningful way.

For this thesis, the energy of the CXLS electron beam was measured and the beam’s energy jitter was calculated. It is essential to characterize the beam’s en- ergy and energy jitter in order to ensure that the powerful x-rays produced by CXLS will be of a consistent and desirable energy. The energy of the electrons within the electron beam can be calculated through utilizing basic physics prin- ciples and the geometry of the beamline. The energy of the beam for the data collected was found to be 3.426 MeV at POP module 1 and 12.3 MeV at POP module 9. The energy jitter of the beam was determined for four different angle settings of the VPSPD for linac 1 and found to be lowest when the linac 1 VPSPD was set to an angle of 97°. The energy jitter of the beam was 1.50e-03 MeV when the VPSPD for linac 1 was set to 97°.
