Abstract

A new multi-pinhole Faraday cup (MPFC) device was designed, fabricated, and tested to measure ion beam uniformity, over a range of centimeters. There are 32 collectors within the device, and each of those is used as an individual Faraday cup to measure a fraction of the beam current. Experimental data show that the device is capable of measuring the charged particles distribution - which is either in the form of a raster scan, or a defocused beam.
