Description
The Argonne Tandem Linear Accelerator System (ATLAS) is upgrading the suite of diagnostics used to optimize and deliver radioactive ion beams from the Californium Rare Isotope Breeder Upgrade (CARIBU) Electron Beam Ion Source (EBIS) charge breeder. Historically beta decay detectors were used exclusively throughout the facility from low (<50 keV) to high energies (>100 MeV), but they have important limitations which will be addressed. In addition to the current beta decay detectors, multi-channel plate (MCP) and gas ionization detectors will be deployed. Each detector type provides unique advantages that will enable ATLAS to improve the transmission, quality, and operational efficiency of CARIBU RIB delivery.
