  "id": "MLC-T-CHM-001019",
  "term": "Average beam current",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "The mean value of the electric current carried by a beam of charged particles over a specified period. It represents the total charge passing a point per unit time, averaged to account for any fluctuations. This parameter is a measure of the intensity of the particle beam in surface analytical techniques like X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy.",
