title: Peculiarities of measuring ion energy distribution in plasma with a retarding field analyzer.
abstract: Presented are the results from tailoring the retarding field energy analyzer to measure the degree of charge compensation and regular patterns in the separations of ions of different mass, with the multicomponent ion flow spreading out in the plasma-optical mass separator model.
