1. PSSC Space Instrument Laboratory Plasma instrument calibration system provides an ion beam of energy range up to 130keV/charge in a clean room To develop new space plasma instruments in PSSC To offer calibration facility to other institutes’ instruments for upcoming missions. E.g. ERG and SCOPE

2. OverviewOverview To obtain the relationship between count rate and particle distribution function, the instrument response to known beam energy and incident angle is measured beam area (>50 cm 2 ), energy range (~130 keV)

4. Ion source Ionization of neutral gas by electron impact Ions are collimated and accelerated (~10keV) by electrostatic lenses. Electron gun Ion trajectory simulation Blue line: Ion trajectory, mass=1, Red, green line: Potential contour Ring electrodes: 8000V ~ 0

5. Mass spectrometer Mass separation is done by a crossed electric field and magnetic field (ExB) in a 90 deg. cylindrical configuration (R=120 mm, gap 6 mm). +V -V B Ion trajectory simulation Green line: Mass 32, Blue line: Mass 28 V=+/-21 V, B=0.3T, Initial acceleration: 3kV Permanent magnets of 0.1 T and 0.3 T are selected depending on particle mass range.

6. Beam expander AC voltages (~1 kHz, ~200V) applied to deflectors scan the beam Decelerated by mesh electrodes. Ring electrodes collimate to a parallel beam. Ground 2.5kVBeam 3keV Deflector AC +/-200V

7. Beam accelerator 64 ring shaped electrodes connected via resisters are set in the insulated tube to form a uniform field. Ions are accelerated in an insulated tube by a potential drop (~130kV) between the beam expander and the drift tube.

8. Ion trajectory simulation Green line: Mass 32, Blue line: Mass 28 V=+/-21 V, B=0.3T, Initial acceleration: 3kV, Main acceleration 130kV

9. Beam profile monitor A movable 64 channel Faraday cup array (1 mm diameter, 8 mm depth, 2 mm spacing) is installed in front of the main chamber to monitor beam current and profile.
