Development of a crystal spectrometer for studies with helium-like argon
نویسندگان
چکیده
We report on the development of a crystal spectrometer for experiments with helium-like argon ions as a target. The spectrometer will be used as a precise diagnostic tool to study a) collisions between relativistic highly charged ions and argon atoms at the ESR; b) the interaction between pulses from the PHELIX laser and large argon clusters; and c) studies of He-like argon as created in the SPARC EBIT. The spectrometer is optimised for accurate x-ray spectroscopy of inner-shell transitions in He-like argon (Ar) with an energy of about 3 keV.

Damage studies on irradiated tungsten by helium and argon ions in a plasma focus device
Damage of tungsten due to helium and argon ions of a PF device was studied. Tungsten samples were irradiated by 20 shots of the plasma focus device with argon and helium as working gases, separately. The tungsten surface was analyzed by SEM, before and after irradiation. SEM revealed dense blisters with diameters of a few hundred nanometers, on the samples which were irradiated by helium ions, ...
متن کاملOn the characterisation of a Bragg spectrometer with X-rays from an ECR source
Narrow X-ray lines from helium-like argon emitted from a dedicated ECR source have been used to determine the response function of a Bragg crystal spectrometer equipped with large area spherically bent silicon (111) or quartz (101̄) crystals. The measured spectra are compared with simulated ones created by a ray-tracing code based on the expected theoretical crystal’s rocking curve and the geome...
متن کاملA continuous flow mass spectrometry technique of argon isotope measurement for K/Ar geochronology.
A new method for the measurement of argon isotope composition in a continuous flow of helium for potassium/argon geochronology is described. Extraction of argon from geological samples in multiple-sample holders was carried out in a chamber by heating with a continuous Nd-YAG laser. The extracted and pre-concentrated argon is passed through a chromatographic capillary column in a flow of helium...
متن کاملIn situ calibration of an extreme ultraviolet spectrometer for attosecond transient absorption experiments.
We report a method for calibrating an extreme ultraviolet spectrometer based on a flat-field grazing incidence spherical grating in the energy range of 20-30 eV. By measuring absorption lines corresponding to singly excited states in helium atoms and autoionizing states in argon atoms, the photon energy of the detected light was determined. The spectral resolution of the spectrometer, 60 meV, w...
متن کاملResik Observations of Helium-like Argon X-ray Line Emission in Solar Flares
The Ar XVII X-ray line group principally due to transitions 1s−1s2l (l = s, p) near 4 Å was observed in numerous flares by the RESIK bent crystal spectrometer aboard CORONAS-F between 2001 and 2003. The three line features include the Ar XVII w (resonance line), a blend of x and y (intercombination lines), and z (forbidden line), all of which are blended with Ar XVI dielectronic satellites. The...
