摘要
This paper describes the development of a high spatial resolution external beam facility on one of the beamlines of the Oxford scanning proton microprobe tandem accelerator. Using a ma magnetic quadrupole doublet to focus the beam through the Kapton exit window a beam diameter of < 50 mum full width at half maximum (fwhm) can be achieved on a sample located at 4 mm from the exit window. The facility is equipped with two Si-Li X-ray detectors for proton-induced X-ray emission (PIXE) analysis of light and trace elements respectively, a surface barrier detector for Rutherford backscattering spectrometry (RBS) analysis and a HP-Ge detector for gamma -ray detection. The mechanical and beam-optical design of the system is described. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
