Ross Filter Diode Array Analysis for Red Sage
A Ross Filter Diode Array (RFDA) diagnostic was fielded on the Cygnus x-ray source during the final stages of the Red Sage campaign. This report briefly describes the motivation for the diagnostic, its construction and operating principles, and the raw data that it produces followed by an in-depth look at the procedures used to analyze this data. RFDA signals from eight Cygnus shots conducted after the conclusion of Nightshade C are analyzed and those results are discussed. Finally, recommendations are made to improve the diagnostic for future experiments.
