Developing a Low-Energy Beam Analyzer for Measurement of a Laboratory Ion Beam

Abstract

The design process behind the development of a Low-Energy Modular Beam Analyzer (LEMBAS) is detailed. The device aims to address a need in the Space Physics Laboratory for low-energy beam characterization, focusing on high energy resolution. The LEMBAS device uses a Retarding Potential Analyzer (RPA) configuration and evaluates performance against requirements using ion simulations.
