Microchannel plate detector detection efficiency to monoenergetic electrons between 3 and 28 keV.

The Review of scientific instruments

Blase RC, Benke RR, Miller GP, Pickens KS, Waite JH.
PMID: 28571456
Rev Sci Instrum. 2017 May;88(5):053302. doi: 10.1063/1.4983338.

An unshielded microchannel plate (MCP) detector with an ultrafine pore diameter of 2 μm was irradiated by an electron beam to determine the detection efficiency of electrons for creating detector signals, or counts. Tested electron energies spanned a range...
