Fast response, DC –140 kHz beam current sensor for non-intercepting charged particle beam current measurements¹.

The BCS-01 installs over a ceramic vacuum break along a customer’s beamline. The unit measure’s the beam’s DC and time-varying signals separately and then combines both signals to provide an analog output proportional to the beam current.

There is a large demand in the medical field for beam therapy equipment for which the Charged Particle Beam Current Sensor is a perfect fit. Many applications have already benefited from the reliability and performance of this sensor.

• No Droop
• Accuracy < ± 1% Full Scale (FS)
• DC to 140 kHz bandwidth
• Analog design
• Self contained package
