▼ [16p-Z34-10] The simulation of time resolution and ion transmission of TOF-E system
Keywords:Accelerator Mass Spectrometry, Uranium-236, Carbon foil
Accelerator Mass Spectrometry (AMS) is presently the most sensitive technique for the measurement of the actinides, particularly for the measurement of 236U. A Time of Flight-Energy (TOF-E) detection system is the most appropriate technique to discriminate 236U ions from 238U, 235U and other interferences. Before the construction of actual TOF-E system, a SRIM (The Stop and Range of Ions in Matter) simulation of time resolution and ion transmission of TOF-E system has been simulated. The simulation results have shown that adopting the configuration of 8.9 ug/cm2 carbon foil and one Microchannel Plate (MCP) is adequate to identify 236U and its interferences.
