Reflectance and fluorescence characteristics of PTFE coated with TPB at visible...
Haefner, J.; Fahs, A.; Ho, J.; Stanford, C.; Guenette, R.; Adams, C.; Almazán, H.; Álvarez, V.; Aparicio, B.; Aranburu, A.I.; Arazi, L.; Arnquist, I.J.Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) is an excellent diffuse reflector widely used in light collection systems for particle physics experiments. In noble element systems, it is often coated with tetraphenyl butadiene (TPB) to allow detection of vacuum ultraviolet scintillation light. In this work this dependence is investigated for PTFE coated with TPB in air for light of wavelengths of 200 nm, 260 nm, and 450 nm. Th...
A compact dication source for Ba2+ tagging and heavy metal ion sensor development
Navarro, K.E.; Baeza-Rubio, J.; Boyd, M.; Foss, F.W.; Giri, S.; Jones, B.J.P.; Miller, R.L.; Nygren, D.R.; Samaniego, F.J.; Stogsdill, K.We present a tunable metal ion beam that delivers controllable ion currents in the picoamp range for testing of dry-phase ion sensors. Ion beams are formed by sequential atomic evaporation and single or multiple electron impact ionization, followed by acceleration into a sensing region. Controllability of the ionic charge state is achieved through tuning of electrode potentials that influence the retention time...
