Note: An ion imaging spectrometer for studying photo-induced fragmentation in small molecules

Rev Sci Instrum. 2018 Aug;89(8):086107. doi: 10.1063/1.5049844.

Abstract

A three-dimensional ion imaging spectrometer has been designed and calibrated by ion trajectories simulations. We present a recipe for the verification of the calibration by obtaining kinetic energy (KE) distribution from the recorded flight times alone and consequently correlating the two KE spectra.
