Abstract

The work is devoted to the theoretical development of miniature highly sensitive electron spectrometer for the analysis of the composition of corpuscular flows in a wide range of measured particle energies. The mirror type axially symmetric energy analyzerin the spectrometer is constructed on the basis of an electrostatic octupole-cylindrical field and has a long-focal-length distance. The focusing properties of the scheme have been calculated, and the luminosity and resolving power of the device have beenevaluated. As part of a set of equipment for spacecrafts, the proposed device will allow to determine the composition of charged particles in unsteady flows in interplanetary space. Also when designing the device there is a possibility to combine several methods of analysis (for example, with mass-spectrometric methods), which will successfully complement each other, which will provide high information content of joint analysis. This tendency is observed in the creation of space research complexes, which, as a rule, include several independent methods of analysis.
