Reflectron characteristics

Notable among the instrumental design characteristics is the use of direct current (dc) quadrupole lenses to limit ion-beam width spatially within the extraction region. These lenses, along with the use of an ion reflectron, provided resolving powers of approximately 1600 (FWHM) [40]. An illustrative spectrum of Pb and Bi obtained with this instrument is provided as Fig. 12.10.

The experimentally established analytical and the physical characteristics of the laser mass-reflectron LASMA are presented in Table I. 

Some horizontal momentum imparted in the source remains so that ions travel at an angle into and out of the reflectron thus attaining a characteristic V trajectory.
