dc.description.abstract | A compact Thomson parabola ion analyser has been developed and tested on a fast
microcapillary plasma discharge. The discharge cell comprises a circular parallel-plate
capacitor (1 - 2 nF) with a 50 micron sized hole in the dielectric and a somewhat larger
hole in one of the electrodes, which acts to hold off the voltage before self-breakdown in
vacuum. The cell capacitance is pulse charged to about lOkV in about 5011s. Selfbreakdown
proceeds via a surface discharge over the dielectric exposed in the electrode
hole and through the microcapillary in the dielectric. The current in this discharge rises to
about 20 kA in 1 ns. The ions in the plasma outflow are predominantly single and doubly
charged species from the dielectric and have energies in the range 1-10 keV | en |
