Energy analyzer for the ATF heavy ion beam probe

The energy analyzer for the ATF heavy ion beam probe has been built and tested. Because the analyzer will be required to operate in fields as high as 550 G on ATF and since calibration of the analyzer in the absence of a field will not be possible once it is installed, a special emphasis has been made to characterize its performance on a test stand. In order to ensure accurate knowledge of the analyzer geometric parameters, it was assembled with the aid of a coordinate axis measuring machine. The results of these tests are presented and a comparison to ideal analyzer performance is made.
