A two stage mass spectrometer for nuclear physics applications, part II

Mass Spectrometry

“…White, Sheffield, and Rourke (593) design and construct a cascade mass spectrometer in which the ion beam traverses two successive 180°t rajectories in a single magnetic field rather than in tandem magnetic fields. Wilson (598) describes the instrument at Aldermaston which has two magnetic fields in tandem so that the field radii form an S shape, while Young, et al (605) describe the main electronic features of the instrument. Particular emphasis is given to details of the high stability accelerating voltage scanning and magnet supplies, the mass switching, and ion counting equipment.…”
