The Sandia nuclear microprobe
Abstract
A nuclear microprobe analysis system attached to Sandia's EN tandem Van de Graaff accelerator is described. A magnetic quadrupole doublet lens is used for the final focus and 2-(SIGMA)m beam diameters have been obtained. Several illustrative applications of the microprobe, including the first three dimensional concentration profiles using Rutherford backscattering and elastic recoil detection ever measured, are given.
