Development of a versatile plate spectrometer for electron beam characterization
A new instrument for electron beam characterization has been developed, based on measuring the range of beam electrons in different thicknesses of aluminum, to determine both the current and energy of an electron beam traveling in open air. This instrument is referred to as a ‘plate spectrometer’ as the thickness of the spectrometer is adjusted by adding or removing alu- minum plates. This spectrometer was assembled and then characterized at the Idaho Accelerator Center (IAC) with three different beam energies and with one beam energy at the University of Maryland Radiation Facilities. The plate spectrometer was able to match the median energies and provide a reasonable constraint to the beam distributions seen in the IAC magnetic spectrometer. In a separate experiment, the plate spectrometer was also seen to agree with a dosimetry characterization of the beam at the University of Maryland Radiation Facilities and improved upon the uncertainties of this measurement.
期刊介绍:
Section B of Nuclear Instruments and Methods in Physics Research covers all aspects of the interaction of energetic beams with atoms, molecules and aggregate forms of matter. This includes ion beam analysis and ion beam modification of materials as well as basic data of importance for these studies. Topics of general interest include: atomic collisions in solids, particle channelling, all aspects of collision cascades, the modification of materials by energetic beams, ion implantation, irradiation - induced changes in materials, the physics and chemistry of beam interactions and the analysis of materials by all forms of energetic radiation. Modification by ion, laser and electron beams for the study of electronic materials, metals, ceramics, insulators, polymers and other important and new materials systems are included. Related studies, such as the application of ion beam analysis to biological, archaeological and geological samples as well as applications to solve problems in planetary science are also welcome. Energetic beams of interest include atomic and molecular ions, neutrons, positrons and muons, plasmas directed at surfaces, electron and photon beams, including laser treated surfaces and studies of solids by photon radiation from rotating anodes, synchrotrons, etc. In addition, the interaction between various forms of radiation and radiation-induced deposition processes are relevant.
