Abstract

A new detection device for evaluating the ion energy distributions of a laser-plasma ion source is demonstrated. The Imaging Plate (IP) with no protective layer as ion detector device for the Thomson Parabola spectrometer is used. The Imaging Plate Thomson Parabola spectrometer (IPTPS) is applicable for the analysis of the energy distribution of the laser-driven ion beam using an opto-electric digitizing technique.
