Scientific paper

The design and performance of a small, high resolution ion mass-energy spectrograph are described. By utilizing a second-order double-focusing field geometry, mass resolution sufficient to separate energetic space plasma ions such as C(+), N(+) and O(+) has been achieved. The instrument responds to ions over a wide range of parameters (0.1-10 keV, 1-200 amu) and has a sufficient sensitivity for rocket or satellite measurements of space plasma ion populations (geometric factor of about 10 to the -4th E sub O sq cm sr KeV). Sample mass spectra are displayed to show the laboratory prototype's response to artificially generated beams containing a variety of energetic ions. Plans for future development are briefly discussed.
