Interfacing of a Coordinate-Sensitive Detector Based on Charge-Coupled Devices for Recording Ions with a Portable Static Mass Spectrograph

Abstract

An IDS 2030 IonCCD coordinate-sensitive detector (Analytical/CMS Field Products) is interfaced with a small-sized mass spectrograph developed at the Ioffe Physical Technical Institute, Russian Academy of Sciences. The measurement data obtained with the mass spectrograph using an IonCCD detector and a Magnum-5901-37029PS channel secondary electron multiplier (Photonics USA Inc., United States) are compared. The results of measurements are discussed, and the prospects for using the IonCCD coupled with a microchannel plate are assessed.
