• Plasma instrument calibration system provides an ion beam of energy range up to 130keV/charge in a clean room

• To develop new space plasma instruments in PSSC

• To offer calibration facility to other institutes’ instruments for upcoming missions. E.g. ERG and SCOPE

OverviewOverviewOverviewOverview

To obtain the relationship between count rate and particle distribution function, the instrument response to known beam energy and incident angle is measured

beam area (>50 cm2), energy range (~130 keV)

Ion sourceIon sourceIon sourceIon source• Ionization of neutral gas by

electron impact • Ions are collimated and

accelerated (~10keV) by electrostatic lenses.

Ion trajectory simulationGreen line: Mass 32, Blue line: Mass 28V=+/-21 V, B=0.3T, Initial acceleration: 3kV

• Permanent magnets of 0.1 T and 0.3 T are selected depending on particle mass range.

• AC voltages (~1 kHz, ~200V) applied to deflectors scan the beam

• Decelerated by mesh electrodes. • Ring electrodes collimate to a

parallel beam.

64 ring shaped electrodes connectedvia resisters are set in the insulated tube to form a uniform field.

Ions are accelerated in an insulated tube by a potential drop (~130kV) between the beam expander and the drift tube.
