This includes optimization of gas ionisation detectors by understanding the basic processes affecting the energy resolution and particle identification capability of this type of detector. In addition, the student will be involved in ion source developments for AMS and will evaluate ion optical concepts for the mass spectrometers and for the accelerator. Finally, the overall performance and the limitations of such instruments will be studied. 2) The second graduae student will develop a miniaturized particle detector based on the gas ionization principle. The device is especially suited to detect ions in the low MeV range with high energy resolution. After completion, the instrument will be used in spectrometers dedicated to materials analysis by elastic forward- and backscattering. The system will be optimized for high depth and mass resolution measurements. The goal is to reach monolayer depth resolution and high precision isotopic analysis which can be applied to a number of problems in different fields of research. A Diploma or Master degree in physics is required. The students will be registered at ETH Zurich. There is a 4 year time limit for the completion of the work. The Laboratory for Ion Beam Physics is a joint venture between ETH Zurich and the PSI National Laboratory and plays a leading role in the development of new and novel instruments for Accelerator Mass Spectrometry. It is situated at the ETH Hoenggerberg campus in Zurich. Please apply to: Prof. M.
