Abstract:
1. A circuit card stripline Fast Faraday cup system for measuring the structure of a charged particle beam, the system comprising: a first groundplane; a first dielectric layer bonded to the first groundplane; a conductor bonded to the first dielectric layer, a portion of the conductor used as a beam target; a second dielectric layer bonded to the conductor by means of a bonding dielectric, the bonding dielectric having the same dielectric constant as the first dielectric layer; and an initial groundplane bonded to the second dielectric, the second dielectric and the initial groundplane having a channel for the unimpeded passage of the beam to the beam target, and the first groundplane connected to the initial groundplane by electroplated stitching to prevent the occurrence of a resonance condition between the first and initial groundplanes.
