“…Therefore, the recent studies have been concentrated on calibration of NTD with charged particles of lower energies (below several dozen keV), which are described by the rising-up (left) part of the calibration curve. The previous study (Malinowski et al, 2005) has concerned a comparison of responses of different NTD to low-energy protons. It has been shown that the best characteristics are obtained for NTD of the PM-355 type.…”

The paper reports on experimental studies of pulsed plasma-ion streams generated by the RPI-IBIS facility equipped with coaxial multi-rod electrodes and operated at about 30 kV, with the pulsed injection of pure deuterium. Ion measurements were performed at time-delays τ (between the gas-valve triggering and a HV pulse) equal to 170 µs (slow mode) and 130 µs (medium mode). To determine mass-and energy-spectra of ions the use was made of a Thomson-type spectrometer. An influence of the initial gas conditions (determined by τ ) on the energy spectra of deuterium-ions was demonstrated. To study the spatial structure of plasma-ion streams the use was made of an ion-pinhole camera equipped with PM-355 nuclear-track detectors and placed on the discharge axis. The application of Al-filters enabled to record deuterons of highest energy and to identify sources of their emission. The measurements confirmed the strong influence of the initial gas conditions on the energy distribution of the emitted plasma-ion streams and their spatial structure. The obtained results are of importance for basic plasma physics and for application-oriented research, e.g. modifications of different materials.

“…The detector samples irradiated inside the MTS were removed and etched under the standard conditions (within a 6.25N water solution of NaOH, at a temperature of 70 • C, usually for 2 hours). The recorded ion parabola tracks were analyzed by means of an optical microscope equipped with a CCD camera coupled with a computer, which had a PCI-Meteor card and the Image-Pro-Plus software [4]. It made possible to perform good estimates of dimensions and numbers of the recorded ion tracks in different points along the Thomson parabolas.…”

The paper describes the construction and tests of a new miniature mass-spectrometer of the Thomson type, which has been designed especially for plasma-ion measurements inside vacuum experimental chambers, i.e. near the electrode outlets. This ion spectrometer enables ion mass-and energy-analysis to be performed at conditions, which are unavailable for typical ion-spectrometers placed outside the vacuum chamber. In order to record the investigated ions the use is made of solid-state nuclear-track detectors of the CR-39 or PM-355 type. A quantitative analysis of recorded ion tracks is carried out by means of an optical microscope equipped with a CCD camera coupled with a PC unit. Preliminary measurements by means of the described ion-spectrometer have been performed within the RPI-IBIS facility operated at about 50 kJ, with the pulsed injection of a working gas. The paper presents results of the detailed measurements of energy distributions of different ion-species, i.e. protons, deuterons and nitrogen ions, within the energy range from about 50 keV to about 300 keV. : 52.70.Nc, PACS
