Abstract
A multi-element electrostatic lens was constructed to improve the ener gy analysis of electrons ejected at zero degree in ion-atom collisions . The lens, coupled to a cylindrical mirror analyser, considerably ext ends the energy range of the analyser to lower energies by acceleratio n of the electrons, and improves its angular resolution by angular mag nification. The distribution of the potential in the lens was determin ed using series expansion, starting from a given function of potential at the lens axis. The electron-optical properties of the lens were ob tained from ray tracing, The power of the lens is demonstrated taking the spectrum of electrons emitted from He- on Ar collisions at 112 keV impact energy, in which the auto-ionization peaks originating from th e (1s2p2p') P-4(e) shape resonance of He- are completely resolved.
