A Multi-Pinhole Faraday Cup Device for Measurement of Discrete Charge Distribution of Heavy and Light Ions

Abstract

A new multi-pinhole Faraday cup (MPFC) device was designed, fabricated and tested to measure ion beam uniformity over a range of centimeters. There are 32 collectors within the device, and each of those is used as an individual Faraday cup to measure a fraction of the beam current. Experimental data show that the device is capable of measuring a charged particles distribution - either in the form of a raster scanned focused beam or a defocused beam.
