Abstract
We propose novel spectrometer designs that aim to enhance the measured spectral range 1
of ions on a finite-sized detector. In contrast to the traditional devices that use uniform magnetic 2
field, in which the deflection of particles increases inversely proportional to their momentum, in a 3
gradient magnetic field, the deflection of particles will be decreased due to the reduction of the 4
magnetic field along their propagation. Low energy ions are particularly impacted, as they are 5
deflected less and are more likely to reach the detector compared to being driven out of it while 6
using a uniform magnetic field. By the means of a gradient magnetic field, the nonlinear dispersion 7
of ions in a homogeneous magnetic field can approach a nearly linear dispersion. Nonetheless, 8
the dispersion of low energy ions in a homogeneous magnetic field remains unnecessarily high. 9
In this article, we explore linear, quadratic, and higher-order field profiles in comparison to the 10
homogeneous field case. We discuss the employed methodology and present simulation results of 11
the spectrometer with an extended ion spectral range, focusing on the minimum detectable energy 12
(energy dynamic range) and energy resolution
