  15. 4 Torr Results 1 Torr • Consistent resonance strength found independent of position or pressure “on resonance” • Precision limited primarily by stopping powers • 20 keV beam energy loss (at P~4 Torr) before chamber • Results agree with Chafa et al. +0.1 -0.4 6% α+12C stopping 3% α strength 5% 17O+H2 stopping

  16. 2. 7Be(p,)8B Summary & Outlook • Mach I - 24% uncertainty at Ecm ~ 1.5 MeV • Systematic uncertainties less than 5% within reach • Mach II planned - 5% measurement at Ecm ~ 1.0 MeV • 10 days of beam time at 8x107 pps • Mach III? 3.
