The invention concerns a device and method for two-dimensional imaging and timing of particles or electromagnetic radiation with improved pulse-pair resolution. A detector, e.g. a michrochannel plate detector with a delay-line anode with three or more conductive members is used as exemplary embodiment for achieving these requirements. Redundant position and timing information is used for uniquely determine the timing and position of two or more particles, even if they arrive at the same time at the detector.

Device and method for two-dimensional detection of particles or electromagnetic radiation

The invention relates to a particle source, particularly an ion source for the production of excited particles in gaseous media. A dielectric, e.g., Kapton foil, is coated electrically conductively on both sides, and a voltage, preferably pulsed, is applied between the two coatings. A gas discharge is ignited in the gas through-flow by the voltage. Due to a pressure difference between the two sides of the foil, the gas expands from the high pressure side to the low pressure side, preferably in an ultrasonic expansion, whereby a directed, cold beam of excited particles or ions is produced.
