title: Thomson parabola ion analyzer for laser-plasma studies.
abstract: A compact, flexible design for a parallel-fields ion analyzer is presented. Accurate ion velocity and charge state measurements can be obtained over a wide range without the need for calibration sources. Etchable cellulose-nitrate foil is used to record individual ion tracks.
