maxION - 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.fsssss

Our goal is to supply the perfect ion spectrometer for your application. We customize every spectrometer to exactly match the desired application.
This includes e.g.:
-
interfacing to experimental chambers
-
adaption to beam parameters
-
integration of customer-supplied detectors
Our ion spectrometers are operated with state-of-the-art detectors:
-
high-sensitivity image plates
-
scintillators
-
MCPs
We will supply the detector that best fits your application
Care is taken to shield from direct and stray laser light and x-rays from the laser-plasma interaction.
We offer specialized solutions for almost every application, including:
-
special housing geometries, in-chamber solutions
-
special mounting situations
