Characterization of the Ion-CCD~(TM) used as position sensitive detector for charged particles

摘要

We ak ion energy dependence makes the Ion-CCD a good detector for hyper-thermal energy ions, making post acceleration obsolete. This is ideal for beam profile diagnostics and hyper-thermal bio-molecular ion deposition monitoring. Weak dependence on ion incidence angle makes the Ion-CCD practical for different geometries and ion scattering experiments. High integration time linearity of the ion-CCD can be used to drastically increase its effective dynamic range when used in exposure time ramp mode. First observation of the Ion-CCD electron sensitivity makes it a serious candidate for energy dispersion instruments like in non scanning electron planar energy analyzers.
