FIPS
Energetic Particle and Plasma Spectrometer (EPPS) : Fast Imaging Plasma Spectrometer
2017-01-20T21:10:13Z
The Fast Imaging Plasma Spectrometer (FIPS) instrument is an imaging mass spectrometer combining a novel wide-angle electrostatic deflection system and a linear time-of-flight system.
The FIPS sensor consists of an electrostatic analyzer (ESA), located
at the entrance to the sensor, a post-acceleration chamber between
the output of the ESA and the carbon foil, and a time-of-flight
telescope. The ESA at the entrance to the FIPS acts as a wide-angle
lens for ions. It only allows ions with a specific energy/charge band
to enter through its output plane.
