Development and Series Production of Current-to-Frequency Converters for SIS100

The international research facility FAIR (Facility for Antiproton and Ion Research) is currently under construction at the GSI Helmholtz Centre for Heavy Ion Research. This project requires numerous different types of detectors for beam diagnostics, including ionization chambers and secondary electron emission monitors. A key component of the design for these detector types is the current-to-frequency converter (IFC), which is used to measure current signals in the nano- and microampere range. The required systems...
