Pelletron Accelerator RBS-AMS Systems (PARAS)
Rutherford Backscattering Spectrometry (RBS) facility with 1.7 Million Volt Pelletron accelerator has been installed at IUAC. The facility is equipped with :
- Alphatross ion source for producing negatively charged He and H ions.
- 1.7MV 5SDH-2 Pelletron accelerator
- Charles Evans and Associate make 4 − axis goniometer (model name RBS-400)
Surface barrier detector measure the number and energy of ions backscattered after colliding with atoms of the sample enabling us to determine atomic mass and elemental concentration versus depth below the surface..
