Abstract
A compact retarding-potential Mott polarimeter combined with microsphere pl ates (MSP) as electron detectors was built to perform spin-resolved time-of -flight electron spectroscopy. The comparison of the performance of MSP and channeltron detectors shows that the MSP detector has a better time resolu tion but a lower efficiency. The overall time resolution of the system was determined to be 350 ps using synchrotron radiation pulses. (C) 2000 Americ an Institute of Physics. [S0034-6748(00)02206-1].
