Particle and UV-Imaging with Position Sensitive MCP-Detectors-Three-Dimensional Momentum Space Imaging

MRS Online Proceedings Library Aims and scope

Abstract

Various position sensitive microchannel-plate (MCP) detector systems for ion, electron and photon detection are presented. We have also developed a complete set of electronics to operate the detectors and software to analyze the incoming data. The detectors provide two-dimensional position as well as excellent timing information, e.g. for time-of-flight measurements. All data can be stored in single event mode. These MCP-detectors were used for electron and ion analyzers, which provide a three-dimensional imaging of the momentum space of all detected particles.
