CR-39 nuclear track detector application for the diagnostics of low energy high power ion beams

This report presents the investigation results of spectral composition of ion beams generated by magneto-insulated ion diode of «MUK-M» and «TEMP» accelerators ^1,2. Energetical and mass characteristics of the accelerated ion beam were determinated by Thomson spectrometer with CR-39 plate detector (MOM-Atomki Nuclear Track Detector, Type MA-ND/p). Accelerated ion energy was from 40 up to 240 keV. Ion current density range is from 1 A/cm² up to 10 A/cm². Mass composition contained hydrogen, nitrogen, carbon and aluminum ions. The individual track analysis shows the track form, depth and diameter dependence on ion mass and energy.
