Imaging with MCP in molecular beam experiments

The main goal of the fast molecular beam experiments is the measurement of differential cross sections of the most actual gas-phase reactions within a wide range of translational energies of reagents. tting up such experiments the R&D Center “Reagent” scientific group designed a series of particle and photon detectors. By way of complexity and historically these detectors place as follows:(1) 0D—one element scanning detectors; (2) 2D—position-sensitive detectors (PSD) based on microchannel plate; (3) 2D+T—time and position-sensitive detectors (TPSD); (4) 2D+2D+δT—Multiparticle position-sensitive detectors (MTPSD); (5) 2D+T—the fluorescent photon TPSD with photocathodes. ort the development of the methods for particles and photons detection in the fast molecular beam experiments. The results of measurements on the basis of such detectors are also considered.
