Use of Channel Electron Multipliers as Secondary Standard Detectors at EUV Wavelengths

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

The procedures available for photometric calibration at extreme ultraviolet (EUV) wavelengths are outlined and the requirements for a secondary standard EUV photomultiplier defined. The performance of a number of commercially available channel electron multipliers over the 304–1350-Å wavelength range is described and their suitability for use as secondary standards discussed in detail. Although none of the multipliers evaluated fully met the requirements for a secondary standard it proved possible to calibrate absolutely a Mullard cone channel over the required wavelength range to an accuracy of ±9% and to employ it as a secondary standard in the calibration of a series of sounding rocket spectrometers.
