Scattering of hydrogen, nitrogen and water ions from micro pore optic plates for application in spaceborne plasma instrumentation

Barabash, Stas; Wieser, Martin; Stude, Joan

Time-of-flight mass spectrometers for upcoming space missions into enhanced radiation environments need to be small, light weight and energy efficient. Time-of-flight systems using surface interactions as start-event generation can be smaller than foil-type instruments. Start surfaces for such applications need to provide narrow angular scattering…
