Vacuum windows, essential in high-intensity electron accelerators, separate different vacuum areas or the beam vacuum from the atmosphere. GC, with its low atomic number and excellent thermo-mechanical properties, is ideal for such windows and stripper foils in ion beams. The general goal is to balance different material properties: windows and strippers need to withstand a high thermal load and intense radiation damage. A low material budget is desirable (to minimize energy losses and longituninal and transverse emittance growth) and long lifetimes are required. In addition, accurate knowledge of the area density of the GC material is essential for its application. Ketek GmbH, Munich, has developed GC windows with diameter of 7.5 mm and thickness of 1 µm, which can withstand 2 bar of pressure. These windows used as vacuum windows for X-ray detectors and tested for heavy ion applications. We use GC foils as test material for heavy ion applications. Using high-resolution alpha spectroscopy and theorical models we estimate the area density.
