A Simple Procedure to Extract Speed Distributions from Ion Images with a Large Background Contribution

• Published in: Review of Scientific Instruments, vol. 76, p. 113103
• Publication date: 2005

We present a simple and robust procedure that allows extracting with high fidelity speed distributions from ion images that contain a large background contribution. The procedure requires no detailed knowledge about the background and is conveniently applied after performing the inverse Abel transform that reconstructs the three-dimensional velocity distribution from a recorded image.
