| Schematic overhead view
of the NOSAMS tandetron AMS system. The system is over 30' long and
consists of a 2.5 million Volt tandem (two-stage) accelerator,
sandwiched between a low-energy mass spectrometer to the left
and a high-energy mass spectrometer to the right. Major sections
of the system are labeled in the schematic and described in
detail when you click on them.
The second CFAMS instrument was built and commissioned in 2006-2007. It is constructed around a 500kV compact pelletron accelerator. A bounced injection system with a modified SNICS solid sputter ion source as well as a microwave gas ion source are drawn on the left, and the high energy mass spectrometer and particle detection system is on the right.
