Abstract
The resolving power of a new high resolution one-dimensional ion detec tor array has been studied as a function of the microchannel plate ele ctron multiplier (MCP) voltage and the detector pulse height discrimin ation level. Experimental data have been analysed to give a simple rep resentation of both the resolving power and the region of stable opera tion of the array. The conditions necessary for high resolution and st able operation are explained and the implications of the results for f uture design of high resolution arrays are outlined.
