IC256-42 - Large Area 42x35 cm High Resolution Strip Ionization Chamber
Description
The IC256-42 is a large-format, high-speed, and high-resolution ionization chamber engineered for advanced beam diagnostics. Its fine-strip electrode design provides simultaneous two-axis beam projections, enabling precise analysis of position and axial beam shape. Designed as a versatile isocenter-diagnostics instrument, the IC256-42 consolidates the functionality of multiple measurement devices while delivering enhanced insight into beam behavior.
Features
- Large Active Area: 42 × 35 cm sensitive region optimized for most particle-scanning and beam-diagnostic systems.
- High-Resolution Strip Readout: Fine-pitch electrodes provide sub-millimeter (<1 mm) precision for accurate beam position and size measurements.
- High-Speed Data Acquisition: Fully integrated electronics support data rates up to 6 kHz, enabling real-time beam monitoring.
- Environmental Compensation: Built-in temperature and pressure sensors allow automated ideal-gas-law corrections for stable, reliable measurements.
- Maintained Internal Gas Stability: Replaceable desiccant ensures long-term control of internal gas conditions.
Applications
- Particle accelerator commissioning and tuning
- Calibration of particle-beam scanning magnet systems
- Characterization of beam quality and stability
