PX-2 - 120 Pixel Ion Chamber

Description

The PX-2 is a precision pixelated 2D ionization chamber offering true two-dimensional beam shape and position monitoring via 120 individual pixels over a circular 42 mm sensitive area. With robust thin-FR4 electrode construction, a compact insertion length and low water-equivalent thickness (< 400 µm), it enables high-accuracy beam diagnostics with minimal scattering. Designed for beamline integration, the PX-2 is compatible with standard read-out electronics and provides reliable performance for high-energy ion beam applications.

Features

  • 42 mm diameter sensitive area
  • Compact package
  • Robust thin FR4 electrodes
  • HV loopback

Applications

  • High energy ion beamline setup and tuning
  • True 2-D beam characterization
  • Particle therapy isocenter diagnostics

Pixelated Detectors

Pixelated detectors resolve beam shape with a precision strip detectors can't match, using high-precision gold-film pixel arrays for fine-resolution, unambiguous 2D beam imaging. This pairs naturally with gamma index analysis for confident beam quality assessment.

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
