MBES: Magnetic Bottle Electron Time-of-Flight Spectrometer in IP1

For Run 26 TMO will provide a magnetic bottle electron spectrometer. The spectrometer is coupled to a dual anode micro-channel plate detector allowing for some radial-discrimination of the measured spectrum.
The end station features:

• Gas targets:
  • Either heated gas needle or
  • In-vacuum oven
• 2m flight tube with retardation section, >50% collection efficiency
  • ​Resolution DE/E <5%
  • Retardation up to 200 eV
• Ion extraction plate and coincident Ion ToF capability
• Electron Detector
  • The spectrometer is coupled to a dual anode micro-channel plate detector allowing for some radial-discrimination
  • We continue to develop advanced charge particle detectors and additional detection capabilities can be discussed with the instrument team. 

MRCO: Angle-resolving Electron Time-of-Flight Detector in IP1

In Run 26 TMO will provide and angular array of electron time-of-flight spectrometers offering high energy- and angular-resolution for electron spectroscopy. This end station features:

• Gas targets:
  • Heated gas needle
• 16 eToF spectrometers, ~1% total collection efficiency
  • Resolution DE/E < 1%
  • Retardation up to 2000 eV
  • Angular Acceptance 1.5^o - 3.0^o cone angle, per ToF

cVMI: Co-axial Velocity Map Imaging Spectrometer at IP1

In Run 26 TMO will offer the coaxial VMI (cVMI) endstation which provides an electron VMI spectrometer where the ionizing laser source propagates along the symmetry axis of the spectrometer. The end station features:

• Gas Targets:
  • skimmed molecular beam
  • pulsed gas delivery with Even-Lavie nozzle
• Charged Particle Detection:
  • 80 mm microchannel plate coupled to a fast phosphor screen imaged by a CCD camera.  

Photon Spectrometer Diagnostic

In Run 25 we will offer a photon spectral diagnostic downstream of IP1. This device uses an off-axis Fresnel Zone-Plate (FZP) to spectrally disperse the incident X-ray onto a high repetition rate detector. A line-scan camera at maximum repetition rate of ~100 kHz will be used to measure the single-shot spectra at the absorption edges of carbon, nitrogen, oxygen and neon elements. This compact photon spectrometer has a designed resolving power of ~1000 which we have demonstrated at the oxygen K-edge.

Not Offered for Run 26
