| DRAFT DEFINITION |
| Channeltron detector |
|---|
|
A horn-shaped continuous dynode particle multiplier. The ion strikes the inner surface of the device and induces the production of secondary electrons that in turn impinge on the inner surfaces to produce more secondary electrons. This avalanche effect produces an increase in signal in the final measured current pulse. (Note that the "Channeltron®" is a registered trademark.) |
