A High Resolution Time-of-Flight Spectrometer for Fission fragments and Ion beams

Thesis For the purpose of fission-fragment detection a double time-of-flight (TOF) spectrometer has been developed. The key component of the spectrometer is a TOF detector consisting of multichannel-plate (MCP) detectors with a position-sensitive readout, a foil for secondary electron production and an electrostatic mirror. The spectrometer performance is tested at tandem and superconducting linear accelerator.
