THE ABSOLUTE DETECTION EFFICIENCY OF A CHANNELPLATE ELECTRON MULTIPLIER

Abstract
Making use of the high-performance focusing-type ToF atom-probe, we have examined detection efficiency of a micro-channelplate on an absolute scale. The detection efficiency for single ion impacts is approximately 60%, close to the fraction of the active channel area of the surface. It may increase slightly, but no more than a few percent contrary to Panitz's clame, even the front surface is positively biased.
