ELENA is a Time-of-Flight (ToF) sensor, based on the state-of-the art of ultra-sonic oscillating shutter (operated at frequencies of the order of tens of kHz), mechanical gratings and Micro-Channel Plate (MCP) detectors. The purpose of the shuttering system is to digitize space and time when tagging the incoming particles without introducing “disturbing” detector elements, which may affect the particle’s trajectory or the energy. This is particularly important in this case, in which neutrals of energies of a few tens of eVs must be detected. Soft X-rayshuttering @43kHz Ion beam_1keV shuttering @43kHz
Crucial ELENA elements Crucial elements to reach the requested performances for TOF ELENA instrument are: the Start element : Shutter System the Stop element : MCP detector (efficiency for low energy particles) → these two challenging items are the actual objects of our laboratory activity because they need to be tested with particle beam HEWG Meeting, Key Largo, May 14-17, 2013
