Winding the Field-Shifting Solenoid
Winding the Field-Shifting Solenoid

The Field-Shifting Solenoid was installed for Phase IIb to enable us to shift the background field uniformly up and down. We use this technique to calibrate our detection efficiency by shifting the 17.8 keV 83mKr peak over a range of frequencies.
