Abstract
A technique for simultaneous energy distribution and ion fraction measurements using a linear time-of-flight analyzer with a floatable drift tube is described. Analytical expressions for the relative collection efficiency and viewing region of the apparatus are developed as functions of the analyzed particle reduced energy and dimensionless apparatus parameters. The method was applied to studies of large-angle scattering of singly charged oxygen ions incident on Au(110), and carried out at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory’s Multicharged Ion Research Facility. Energy distributions of the scattered projectiles and the negative ion fraction are presented as a function of scattered projectile energy. As a by-product of the measurements, the relative ion detection efficiency of the particle detector was reconstructed as a function of ion impact energy on the detector.
