We study Allison-type phase-space scanners by extending analytic models to include two important geometric features that are conventionally omitted, namely asymmetric slit-plate to dipole-plate gaps at the two ends and finite slit-plate thickness. Their effects can be significant for high-resolution Allison scanners and lead to two corrections in the measurement data relative to more idealized descriptions: 1) a change in the voltage-to-angle conversion relation, and 2) a data point weight compensation factor. These findings are corroborated by numerically integrated single-particle trajectories in a realistic 2D field map of the device. The improved model was applied to the Allison scanner used to measure a 12 keV/u heavy-ion beam in the front-end of the Facility for Rare Isotope Beams (FRIB) at Michigan State University. Preliminary measurements show that the improved model results in significant (>10%) modifications to beam moments, thus rendering the corrections important for accurate phase-space characterizations. | ||
