| contents | To achieve high precision and accuracy for mass measurements of exotic nuclei by Time-of-flight (TOF) methods: high-resolution beam-line magnetic-rigidity time-of-flight (B$ρ$-TOF) and in-ring isochronous mass spectrometry (IMS), a large-area electrostatic detector which possesses high position resolution and good timing resolution at the same time is developed at the Rare-RI Ring in RIBF, RIKEN Nishina Center, Japan. Besides TOF mass measurements, the detector system will also be used for heavy ion beam trajectory monitoring or momentum measurements for both beam-line and in-ring at the Rare-RI Ring. The position and timing measurements of heavy ions are performed by detecting the secondary electrons (SEs) emitted from a conversion foil during the passage of the ion. The SEs are accelerated and bent with an angle of $90^{\circ}$ by electrostatic fields onto a micro-channel-plate (MCP) electron multiplier which is coupled with a position-sensitive delay-line anode. The dependence of the timing and position resolution on applied high voltages of the detector potential plates has been studied systematically via simulation and experimentally. An isochronous condition of secondary electron transmission in the electrostatic field of the detector is chosen to optimize the structure of the detector for high performance. The best achieved timing resolution is less than 50 ps (in $σ$) and position resolution $\sim$ 1 mm (in $σ$) for 2 dimensions, respectively. The overall efficiency is $\sim$ 95$\%$ for heavy ion beam and $\sim$ 75$\%$ for $α$ particle from $^{241}$Am source. |
