MASS SPECTROSCOPY OF A MIXED XENON-GOLD ION BEAM

D. Ratschko, C. Schlegel, F. Scholz, M. Gläser
  • Abstract:
    An analysis of an ion beam produced through sputtering of gold by means of Xenon ions in a CHORDIS ion source was performed. The composition of the extracted ion beam was investigated via mass spectroscopy using a double focussing dipole magnet. From the high resolution mass spectrum the abundance pattern of stable Xe isotopes was varified and the amount of charge transitions from 2+ → 1+ could be estimated. A maximum gold current of 0,8 mA directly behind the ion source was measured.
