PROTON / ION SPECTROMETERS
H+P ion spectrometers represent a major improvement over the traditional Thomson parabola. Due to their high energy resolution of >10% combined with angular resolution, they provide high-accuracy estimates for conversion efficiencies from laser into particle energy. In addition, their significantly increased acceptance angle of 30° allows for much more realistic measurements.
Spectral information is provided for each charged ion species.
Multiple parameters can be investigated simultaneously, minimizing the impact of shot-to-shot fluctuations.
