Description

A design study of a small-size neutral particle analyzer using a silicon surface barrier detector (SSD) is performed. The SSD is very sensitive to x rays or photons, so that a pair of 450 sector magnets to separate a reionized neutral from x rays and photons will be used for this analyzer. In order to examine the performance, the SSD was applied to measure the species ratio of the prototype neutral beam injector for JT-60. It was confirmed that the energy resolution was 12% at 40 keV and the linear relation between the incident energy of particles and the pulse height was held over the energy range from 16.7 to 100 keV. The species ratio measured by the SSD was in good agreement with that by the Doppler-shift spectrometer. The SSD has a sufficient capability for the energy analysis of fast neutrals
