IC64-13 - 64 Strip Transmission Ion Chamber
Description
The IC64-13 is a high-resolution transmission ionization chamber tailored for beam position and profile monitoring in demanding environments. Featuring a generous 128 mm × 128 mm sensitive area with 64 strip electrodes (2 mm pitch) and an integral plane dose electrode, it delivers precise one-axis position sensing with ultra-low beam scattering thanks to its thin-film, low-Z construction. With an insertion length of just 22 mm and integrated environmental sensors (temperature, pressure, humidity) plus desiccant conditioning, the IC64-13 offers reliable, repeatable performance for advanced accelerator and ion-beam systems.
Features
- 12.8 cm x 12.8 cm sensitive area with 2 mm pitch strips
- 2.2 cm beamline insertion length
- Compact with high spatial resolution
- 3 mm gaps for high beam current density performance
- Single axis strip readout (can be mounted to a second IC64-13 for 2-axis readout)
- <1.5kV high voltage plane for minimal recombination
- Standard HD44 Male connectors for strip readout
- Standard DB9 Male connector for environment readout
Applications
Strip Detectors
Strip detectors balance beam position accuracy against noise, and Pyramid's laser-machined polyimide electrodes deliver the highest resolution and lowest noise on the market. Radiation-hard construction and gold-plated readout electrodes ensure precise, repeatable beam position monitoring.
Integrated Environment Sensors
Our ion chambers include integrated sensors for dynamic corrections. No need for inconvenient external instruments.
- Humidity, temperature, and pressure sensors
- Replaceable camber desiccant
Expertly Built
Electrodes etched with unique laser technology. Assembled and tested by highly skilled technicians in our USA facility.
- Rigorously tested beyond the operating range for uniformity
- Tested with real radiation sources
- White glove treatment from start to finish
- Full documentation provided for each instrument
