Ionization Profile Monitors
Brought to you by the IEEE Consultants Network of Long Island (LICN)
Ionization profile monitors (IPMs) are widely used in accelerators for non-destructive and fast diagnostics of high energy particle beams. These monitors provide information of particle beam shape and dynamics. Profile monitors extract from the passing beam the vertical and horizontal distributions of the beam particles, be they electrons, protons or heavier ions.
Attendees will learn:
- The deposition of energy in matter, in this case the ionization of a background gas
- How shaped electrodes direct the ion pairs
- How an amplification of 10^7 converts single ions to a detectable current
I will cover basic principles of energy deposition in matter, applicable to particle detection in solid-state detectors as well as single-event upsets in CMOS, electrode design for shaped fields, and ultra-high vacuum considerations for the use of materials.
