2023/S 158-500743 Micro-channel architecture

For operation and further development of residual-gas ionisation profile monitors in heavy ion synchrotrons and beam transfer lines of GSI GmbH and FAIR GmbH, 16 pairs of micro-channel plates (MCP) are required. MCPs are arranged as stacks to increase the signal yield on a scintillating screen that monitors the transverse beam profile. For this task, MCPs of 100 mm x 48 mm with very good homogeneity and matched resistance are needed. The application in bakeable synchrotrons adds further constraints on thermal characteristics and requires long MCP lifetime. A complete list of technical parameters is part of the tender documents.
