Compressing Ion-Beam Shutter
The compressing ion-beam ion shutter developed at The University of Arizona is composed of a series of electrically charged screens. By varying the relative voltages on the screens, the flow of ions into the detector chamber is blocked or opened. When the shutter is first opened, ions accumulate between the screens. When the shutter voltage is changed,...
