Isolating the Effects of Microchannel Plate Parameters on the Ultimate Resolution in Time-of-Flight DetectorsThis paper examines the effects of pore sizes and bias angles of the Microchannel Plates used in Time of Flight Detectors. Experiments were done to determine how the parameters of the MCP could be manipulated to minimize time jitter to ultimately improve the detection resolution of a Time of Flight detector. Efforts to control flatness of the MCP are also discussed.

Resistive Glass Drift Tubes with Air Stable Surface and Multiple Voltage StatgesResistive Glass provides key benefits for ion mobility drift tubes, such as highly uniform electric fields with minimal radial inhomogeneities, simple one-piece construction and containment for counter-flow gas. The combination of uniform electric field and the turbulence-free counter-flow gas produces resolving powers of over 100. However, for some applications, the resistivity drift of Res...
