| The energy gain of the electron beam is proportional to the acceleration voltage and is expressed in electron volts (eV) that represent the energy gained by a particle of unit charge by passing the potential difference of 1 V. The proton detector, a CsI scintillator, is situated on top of the storage volume; the decay protons are accelerated and focused onto it through a potential difference in the storage volume and an additional focusing coil around the detector. A second potential difference between inadequacies and deficiencies is one of clarity. |
