A Heavy Ion Microbeam Facility Using Micron Resolution Detectors for 3 Gev/nucleon Beams
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper we will discuss the technical issues related to creating microbeams of heavy ions (e.g. iron) at energies higher than at existing microbeam facilities (up to 3 GeV/nucleon) and related to developing an electronic position sensitive detector for heavy ions with a position resolution better than 1 micrometer. The experimental requirements define microbeams to be beams which will have a sufficiently small diameter to localize the ions to a single cell.

متن کاملNuclear Methods MeVIon Beam Analysis
The main techniques traditionally used in MeV Ion Beam Analysis are Particle Induced X-ray Emission (PIXE), Rutherford Backscattering (RBS) and Nuclear Reaction Analysis (NRA), which, broadly speaking, utilize light (m <4) ions. These techniques can also be applied in the channeling mode to study the structural properties of crystalline materials (such as foreign atom location, radiation damage...
