3)Spill Duty Factor
-------------------
Machine physicists measure the overall characteristics of a beam
by the spill duty factor(SDF). This is defined as
(mean intensity)**2/(mean of intensity**2).
Thus a uniform beam would have a SDF of unity and any variations in
in intensity would reduce the SDF.
See Page 8 of Fig 2, Fig 3
for plots of the SDF for low (12288) and higher (12567) beam intensity
runs, respectively.
For run 12288 with statistical noise only, the SDF would be expected to
be ~0.98 . A value of ~0.92 is found due to the RMS of the beam being
a factor ~2 larger than the statistical expectation. In addition, some bursts have lower
values of the SDF due to the 100 Hz noise ( see plots on Page 4, Fig 2).
The SDF provides a straightforward way of selecting bursts with less than optimum noise levels.
It is suggested that this parameter be used to define burst quality.

Spill trigger plots
-------------------
Fig 9 Run 12288. rdat35.f (peak at low time)
These plots show the distribution of the time of
the maximum of the number of triggers/5ms in the spill.
The first plot (Fig. 1a) shows the time distribution of the maximum;
a clear peak is evident close to the start of the spill in
the time range 1459 to 1500 ms. This peak is present
in ~ 7% of bursts ( See Fig.3).
The 2D distribution of time vs maximum is shown in Figs 1b
and 2. For this run, apart from the peak at the start of the
sill, there is a trend for the intensity to be highest
towards the end of the spill. The maximum intensity
does not show a significant dependence on the trigger time
(see Figs 1b,1c and 1d).
