Abstract
A computer-controlled surface analysis instrument, incorporating stati c Auger electron spectroscopy, scanning Auger mapping, and secondary e lectron imaging, has been designed and built at CERN to study and char acterize the inner surface of superconducting radio-frequency cavities to be installed in the Large Electron Positron collider. A detailed d escription of the instrument, including the analytical head, the contr ol system, and the vacuum system is presented. Some recent results obt ained from the cavities provide examples of the instrument's capabilit ies. (C) 1996 American Institute of Physics.
