Investigation of the possibility of using energy analyzers of cylindrical-mirror type to measure photoelectron fluxes
Abstract
Various types of electrostatic analyzers for measuring photoelectron fluxes in the upper atmosphere are examined, with particular emphasis on retarding-potential analyzers. Particular attention is given to the design of an analyzer of cylindrical-mirror type, having good energy resolution and a high geometric factor. A rocketborne photoelectron spectometer has been constructed on the basis of this analyzer. Full-scale tests confirm its effectiveness for the measurement of photoelectrons.
