Abstract:
An MCP unit of the present invention has a triode structure with a structure to achieve a desired time response characteristic independent of restrictions from a channel diameter of MCP, and is provided with an MCP group, a first electrode, a second electrode, an anode, and an acceleration electrode. Particularly, the MCP unit further comprises an electron lens structure for confining reflected electrons emitted from the anode in response to incidence of secondary electrons from the MCP group, within a space between the acceleration electrode and the anode.
Abstract:
An ion detector according to this embodiment has a structure for reducing influences of signal reflection or the like on an output signal. The ion detector comprises an electron multiplier, a signal output unit, a signal output terminal, and an AC coupler. The AC coupler is disposed on a signal line between the signal output unit and the signal output terminal, including a resin sheet and a pair of conductive sections facing each other with the resin sheet interposed therebetween. One conductive section is electrically connected to an output terminal of the signal output unit, and the other conductive section is electrically connected to the signal output terminal.
