Development of a cylindrical mirror analyzer electron spectrometer and associated data acquisition system to study inner shell electron emission following ion-atom collision

In this paper we report on the development and performance of a cylindrical mirror analyser electron spectrometer for ion atom collision experiments. A low cost data acquisition system using Arduino microcontroller has also been developed and tested. We have measured the Auger emission spectra for various gaseous targets in collision with 1 MeV proton beams. Relative total Auger emission cross sections have also been measured for N2 molecular target as a function of proton energy.
