Title: Method and apparatus for simultaneous detection and measurement of charged particles at one or more levels of particle flux for analysis of same

Abstract

A charged particle detector and method are disclosed providing for simultaneous detection and measurement of charged particles at one or more levels of particle flux in a measurement cycle. The detector provides multiple and independently selectable levels of integration and/or gain in a fully addressable readout manner.
