title: Calibration of electron spectrometer resolution in attosecond streak camera.
abstract: We report a new method for determining the energy resolution of time-of-flight spectrometers for detecting photoelectrons produced with attosecond XUV pulses. By measuring the width of the 2s2p autoionization line of helium, we found the resolution of our spectrometer to be approximately 0.6 eV for electrons at 35.5 eV. Furthermore, the resolution in the 10 to 35 eV range was determined by applying a retarding potential at the entrance of the drift tube.
