Problems solved by technology

[0023] Therefore, increasing the global gain G of the multiplier electrode set may lie in increasing the number n of multiplier electrodes, but actually leads to an increase in the rise time RT
Therefore, increasing the global gain of the multiplier tube electrode set is accompanied by a decrease in the time resolution of the multiplier tube

Embodiment Construction

[0063] figure 2 Partially and schematically shown is an electron multiplier device 1 according to a first embodiment of the invention, which mainly comprises a microchannel wafer 2 (GMC).

[0064] The multiplier 1 can be used in electromagnetic radiation or ion current detection systems. In this case, the multiplier 1 is considered to be arranged in an image intensifier tube, but it could also be used in a photomultiplier tube or an ion current detector tube.

[0065] It should be noted that this example is not drawn to scale in order to improve its clarity.

[0066] Throughout the following description, normalized orthonormal coordinates (R, Z) in cylindrical coordinates are used, where R is the radial direction of the tube and Z is the axial direction of the tube, which is also roughly similar to the general direction of propagation of electrons of.

[0067] Furthermore, the terms "upstream" and "downstream" used below should be understood here as being aligned in the Z ...

Abstract

The invention relates to an electron multiplier (1) for a system for detecting electromagnetic radiation or an ion flow. The multiplier (1) comprises at least one active structure (2) for receiving a flow of incident electrons and for emitting a flow of so-called secondary electrons in response. Said active structure (2) comprises a substrate (3) on which a thin nanodiamond layer (4) is arranged, wherein said layer consists of diamond particles, the average size of which is no greater than 100 nm.

Description

technical field [0001] This invention relates to the general field of reflection mode electron multipliers found in electromagnetic radiation or ion current detector tubes. [0002] An electron multiplier device according to the invention is referred to as a "reflection-mode" device because it comprises a single face through which it receives a stream of electrons called "incident" electrons, and in response , emitting a stream of electrons called "secondary" electrons. In this respect, the electron multiplier device according to the invention differs from a transmission electron multiplier for which the receiving and emitting surfaces are separated from each other. [0003] As an example, such a reflection mode electron multiplier device may be a microchannel wafer or a set of multiplier electrodes arranged in a photomultiplier tube, image intensifier tube or ion detection tube. Background technique [0004] Electromagnetic radiation or ion current detection tubes (e.g., ...
