Works by the principle of charge-to-mass ratio, separation of masses in magnetic sector analyzers –provides quantitative and qualitative analysis
5 Major Components Primary ion source Primary ion column High vacuum sample chamber Mass analyzer Ion detection unit

Increase the sensitivity, stability and dynamic range of Secondary Ion Mass Spectrometry
Current methods to detect ions Faraday cups Ion multiplier
Capacitive Trans-Impedance Amplifier Faraday Cups

Gain is stable and precisely known (gain=1)
Bandwidth is consistent with use in sector-based mass spectrometry
Useful for Iion 10-15 amp(1 ion/sec 1.6 10-15 amps)
Implies that one needs about 6250 ions/sec for detection by Faraday cup

Operates only when free mean path of the electrons is largeie. a high vacuum
Statistically unpredictable

CTIA is ideal for SIMS Fast (1 MHz or higher
per pixel) Low read noise 10,000 x sensitivity
improvement over current SIMS detectors
Expect further improvement with 3rd generation differential devices and cooling

Currently in use in many missions “Stardust” mission employs SIMS to
perform isotope ratio of oxygen analysis Used to analyze return samples and
obtain chemical composition from mass spectrum

Diverse forms and methods of applications depending on field of research
Fluorescent tag is placed on object that one may wish to observe
Taggant fluoresces by near IR excitation from laser diodes and/or ambient light and is detected by InGaAs focal plane arrays

Produce a signal that is observable from a long distance
Vary collection optics to optimize the signal return
Minimize background noise with software controls

Possibility to track errant satellites/spacecraft that have lost communication and also space debris
Applications to tracking animal migration patterns if taggant is placed on animal groups
