Electron Multipler edit

An electron multiplier is a vacuum-tube structure that multiplies incident charges.[1] In a process called secondary emission, a single electron can, when bombarded on secondary-emissive material, induce emission of roughly 1 to 3 electrons. If an electric potential is applied between this metal plate and another, the emitted electrons will accelerate to the next metal plate and induce secondary emission of still more electrons. This can be repeated a number of times, resulting in a large shower of electrons all collected by a metal anode, all having been triggered by just one.

History = edit

How It works (will be changed) edit

Types of Electron Multiplers edit

Dynode1 edit

"discrete dynode"

Dynode2 edit

"continuous dynode"

Micro-channel Plates edit

Applications edit

This is my proposed outline for "electron multiplers" I feel that there should be a separation between the different Types as well as a possible pairing in different Mass Specs
