  1. IES Calibration Modeling Phil Valek and Roman Gomez May 29, 2013

  2. Outline • Summary of testing • Recent Modeling and Analysis Results • Remaining Work

  3. IES in Calibration Chamber

  4. Calibration notes • Calibration performed over 3 different time periods, with the last occurring as part of a refurbishment • Oct 1999 • Sept 2001 • July 2003 (15 keV and 2 keV) • Calibration perform primarily with positive ions and some tests with negative ions • Records of most of the facility states (i.e. incident beam flux) have been lost • Beam position and energy information is known

  5. Overall Goals • Use a pre-existing SIMION simulation model to determine transmission characteristics of the IES electron ESA • Compare simulation and calibration results to arrive at reasonable Geometric Factor (G) values for all 16 azimuth anodes • Apply these findings to in-flight instrument data (forthcoming)

  6. Simulation Technique: Reverse-fly • Particles are started from the detector and flown out of the ESA • Position, angle, energy, and velocity values are recorded for particles exiting the analyzer • Particle trajectories are reversed (velocity vectors in particular) and the inverted quantities are used to determine the ESA transmission characteristics

  7. Simulation Geometry • Acquired from Greg Miller • Rotated for ease of simulating Electron ESA • 1:1 dimensional correspondence with flight model • SIMION model includes potential arrays for individual ESA plates, detectors and deflection electrodes • All potential array are programmatically adjustable Side View: Electron ESA Bottom IES: Iso-view

  10. Reverse Fly of IES • Four Energies Chosen: 17.26 eV, 172.60 eV, 1756.23 eV, and 17670 eV. • Preliminary: Particles gridded in energy, angles, and position systematically flown from the detector to define the edges of the ESA’s transmission envelope • Once found, the limiting trajectories are used to “bracket” the values of a randomized distribution at the detector. • Transmission envelope at 17.26 eV shown in three views: ESA Voltage = 1.628 V Side View Top View Edge-on View

  11. Flyback Checks 17.26 eVFlyback Results Side View Edge-on View Edge-on View w/2500 V on MCP Top View

  12. Energy-Impact Differences 17.26 eV hit positions w/2500 V on MCP 17.67 keV hit positions w/2500 V on MCP • The impact positions of lower energy particles spread out because of the field between the ESA exit and the detector at 2500 V

  13. Simulation Results Energy 17.26 eV 172.60 eV 1756.23 eV 17670.20 eV Alpha-Elevation

  14. Simulation Results Beta-Azimuth Integrated Response

  15. Tabulated Results Geometric Factors are determined with Gosling’s formula: • Where: • Aeff is determined by flying a normal incidence beam from a set area and then computing • <E/E α> is determined by flying a normal incidence beam from a set area and then computing: • And  is the coverage of one azimuth anode 22.5°= 0.393 radians.

  17. Ion Def = 63 V; Electron Def = -63 V;

  18. Remaining analysis • Scale simulation results to match calibration values • The simulation generally agrees with the calibration results with small differences • Example: Analyzer constant- simulated 10.6 vs calibration 10.8 • Determine Geometric factor for each IES energy / angle step • Simulation values assume 100% grid transmission and 100% detector efficiency • Using 2003 calibration data, we can determine the scaling factor for 2 and 15 keV • Published MCP efficiencies will be used to fill in the remaining energies • Produce an analytical model of the IES response
