A two-coordinate detector for a beam of atomic hydrogen or deuterium

The profile of an atomic beam in the region where it forms is an important characteristic of a polarized atomic hydrogen (or deuterium) source. A mathematical model for a two-coordinate resistive detector of atomic hydrogen beams is presented. Metering equipment and a technique for measuring an atomic beam profile are described, and the results of our measurements are presented.Translated from Pribory i Tekhnika Eksperimenta, No. 1, 2005, pp. 141–145.Original Russian Text Copyright © 2004 by Trofimov, Vasilev, Kovalev, Kravtsov.
