Abstract
A laser mass spectrometer with the secondary CuBe emitter was used to amply weak pulses of multiply charged ions of laser plasma. The use of the secon dary emitter helped increase the spectrometer sensitivity by one to two ord ers of magnitude and detect the pulses of multiply charged ions (Al4+, Al5, and Al6+) of laser plasma. The pump power density was 50 GW/cm(2).
