Synthesis and characterization of metal coatings in complex structures for sub-micrometer ion beam collimation applications

The project involves the development of specific collimators for achromatic ion beams of protons and particles with energies on the order of MeV. The goal is to achieve sub-micrometer achromatic ion beams that are unfocused, limiting kinematic spread and the presence of halos induced by surface scattering with the collimator walls
