Panoramic detector of ions spatially distributed in different beams, comprising a plane symmetry diaphragm having an opening permitting the passage of the beams and which is brought to earth potential, an electrode for converting ions into electrons having an opening facing the diaphragm opening, the conversion electrode having the same plane of plane symmetry and being brought to a negative potential relative to the earth potential, and a planar electrode facing the conversion electrode and brought to a positive potential relative to the potential of the conversion electrode, the face of the conversion electrode facing the planar electrode having a predetermined shape in such a way that the electron beams formed retain the same spatial distribution as the beams of ion to be detected in the presence of an applied magnetic field.
A panoramic detector of ions spatially distributed in different beams, comprising a plane symmetry diaphragm having an elongated opening permitting the passage of said beams and being at earth potential, a conversion electrode for converting ions into electrons having an opening facing the diaphragm opening, said conversion electrode having the same plane of symmetry as said diaphragm and being at a negative potential relative to the earth potential, and a planar electrode facing the conversion electrode and being at a positive potential relative to the potential of the conversion electrode, the face of the conversion electrode facing the planar electrode having a predetermined shape in such a way that the electron beams formed retain the same spatial distribution as the beams of ion to be detected in the presence of an applied magnetic field.
