The demand for new ion species leads to an increasing number of cases in
which the ions can only be produced in small quantities. Thus, weak ion
currents quite often have to be handled in low energy ion storage ring,
like CRYRING. Various detector systems have been developed to measure
such low intensity coasting and bunched beams by using the overlapping
ranges of those systems.
- We have extended the RMS resolution to 1 nA of the Bergoz Beam
Charge Monitor (BCM) by using a low noise 60 dB preamplifier for
the Integrating Current Transformer.
- The sum signal of a capacitive pick-up is integrated by a second
gated integrator and the BCM output signal is used for calibration.
The RMS resolution is about 100 pA..
- To measure the coasting beam intensity, neutral particle detectors
have been built. The fast Microchannel plate detector can handle
1 Mc/s, and a 50 Mc/s Secondary Electron Multiplier based detector
is under construction. On the magnetic flat top, a time of 100 ms
is available to calibrate the count rate of the neutral particle
detectors during each machine cycle.
