Bunched-beam measurements of very smaller currents at ASTRID
Stored currents in low-energy ion storage rings, like ASTRID, are often very small. Absolute current measurements are nevertheless important for absolute measurements of cross sections and also for machine operation purposes. Experimental results, using a beam charge monitor (BCM) from Bergoz, are shown for both light ions (H{sup {minus}}) and heavy ions (N{sub 2}{sup +}). The velocities are low, {beta}{approximately}0.001 to 0.05, and the detected currents are in the 0.1- to 2-{mu}A range. The storage ring ASTRID, where the measurements are made, will be described. The principle of the BCM will be briefly mentioned, and the obtained performance (resolution, stability, noise, etc.) will be given. {copyright} {ital 1997 American Institute of Physics.}
