Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0002] The Faraday cup receiver is an important sensor of the mass spectrometer, which converts the ion flow moving in the vacuum into the electron flow in the conductor, and then realizes the measurement of the ion flow intensity. The multi-receiving isotope mass spectrometer measures the intensity of multiple ion flows at the same time by using the parallel arranged receivers, and then realizes the determination of the isotope ratio. When measuring the isotope of the element with high mass number, the spacing between the receivers is small, and therefore the overall width of the receiver of the multi-receiving isotope mass spectrometer is relatively narrow, generally less than 2.5mm. The multi-receiving isotope mass spectrometer uses the signal ratio between the receivers as the final measurement result, and the consistency of the receiving efficiency is directly related to the measurement accuracy.
