    For high power ion accelerators such as the machine at the heart of the Los Alamos Neutron Science Center (LANSCE), beam “tails” and “halo” can pose significant problems. Such small fractions of the beam current are easy to lose and difficult to measure, yet can contain enough charge to generate significant radiation; thus, halo and tails can pose a direct threat to instrumentation through...
