Abstract

The status of the Lund Nuclear Microprobe is presented. Several parts of the instrument have been replaced by newly developed systems. The presentation includes descriptions of an achromatic focusing system, a VMEbus scanning and data acquisition system and data handling techniques. Several applications are discussed. Finally, a microbeam in air set-up is described.

    Citation Excerpt :

    The expected beam current for the highest resolution beams will be very low and in order to reduce the effect of low count rate a large solid angle HPGe detector has been installed. It consists of eight 100-mm2 elements, each with approximately the same specification as the single element HPGe detector used in the old microprobe set-up [4,5]. A more thoroughly description of this detector is given in [2].
