Veikon Kone is the name of a magnetic spectrometer for high-energy electrons originally designed and built in the 1980s at the University of Jyväskylä in Finland.
It consists of a Siegbahn-Slätis magnet combined with an energy-dispersive detector.
The spectrometer is currently being refurbished with a view to study the beta decay of the unstable isotope ^20 F.
Veikon Kone is the name of an electron spectrometer designed and
built in the 1980s at the University of Jyväskylä in Finland. It
consists of a Siegbahn-Slätis type intermediate-image magnetic
electron transporter with an energy-dispersive beta detector
at the focal plane. In 2017/18 it was fully refurbished and used
at the IGISOL-4 facility at the JYFL Accelerator Laboratory
to measure the second-forbidden, non-unique, ground-state transition
in the beta decay of ^20 F.
This repository contains a GEANT4 simulation program of the spectrometer.
See the [project wiki](https://git.kern.phys.au.dk/oliskir/VeikonKone/wikis/home) for instructions on how to obtain, install and run the program.

The implementation of the tracking in the magnetic field is
based on the [purging_magnet](https://twiki.cern.ch/twiki/bin/view/Geant4/AdvancedExamplesPurgingMagnet) example, while the implementation
of the generation, transport and collection of scintillation
photons is based on the [LXe](http://geant4-userdoc.web.cern.ch/geant4-userdoc/Doxygen/examples_doc/html/ExampleLXe.html) example.
