Analysis of ADC Spectrum of the ?erenkov Counters in The Bates Linear Accelerator Center of MIT using the elastic e-p scattering events

Blue light produced by charged particles when they pass through an optically transparent medium at speeds greater than the speed of light in that medium. This blue light is called ?erenkov radiation. This radiation is spectral and majorly in the visible area. Since this principle is used for the particle separation the detectors are called ?erenkov counters.In this theses, average photo electrons per event are extracted by analyzing its digital signal obtained from ADC (Analog to Digital Converter). Data comes from elastic electron-proton scattering.Key Words: charged particle, elastic e-p scattering, the number of photoelectrons, ?erenkov radiation, ?erenkov detectors, fitting.
