Pulsed Supersonic Beams from High Pressure Source: Simulation Results and Experimental Measurements
Figure 18
Temperature rise in a blunt skimmer [40]. The flowing gas is neon (energy accommodation coefficient 0.8) at 1 K and a number density of atoms/. Skimmer entrance aperture is 1 mm. The temperature soak, lasting only few mS can destroy fragile clusters in the beam.
