Low-flux electron irradiation

Facility Focal-e supports you in the effect characterization of your units or components when irradiated under a low fluence of electrons.

Focal-e 

• Facility for low electrons flux effect characterization (individual event analysis)
• ex.: Jupiter mission (JUICE), GEO orbit ...
• Electron flux adjustable from 0 to 6000 e-/cm².s
• Electron energy range : 0 to 3.5 MeV
• Vacuum 1E-6 mbar
• Liquid Nitrogen available in the vacuum chamber (or in customer cryostat)
• Measurements can be done in vacuum or at atmospheric pressure (automated motor positioning of e- sources) with < 0.1 µm positioning accuracy
• In situ ultra-high resolution electron spectrometer (1.7 keV @ 624 keV)
• Electron absorption in material/component measurement (energy spectrum)
• Mass spectrometer (Residual Gas Analyzer) connected to the chamber
• Pressure and temperatures data logging
• Data logging available over internet (teletest CSL software)
• Oil free pumping
• Facility can be moved in clean room (class 100)

Focal-e was recently developed with Prodex support (2016)
