Toroidal Analysers
3D GeometryCharacterisedby:
Cylindricalradius a,Sphericalradius b, and Deflection Angle .
In principle, toroidal analysers can be made to focus simultaneously in both in energy and angle.
Toroids are the ‘topological link’ between hemispherical(c = 0) and 127 cylindrical (c = ) analysers

Design Notes:
Requires ‘small’ interaction region – relative to ‘cylindrical radius’
Needs electric field termination in both the lenses and toroids
Needs rigorous 3-D mechanical alignment!
Requires calibration (angular scale and efficiency)

Problem: Hypodermic needle not perpendicular to the detection plane – increased potential for systematic errors in the angular distributions.
Solution: Cylindrically symmetric gas beam coaxial with photon beam; this also provides space for an extra analyser.

IntroductionToroidal Photoelectron Spectrometer
A photoelectron-photoelectron coincidence spectrometer has been developed in which the two electrons, of specified energies, are detected over a wide range of emission angles. The spectrometer based on a toroidal geometry, which has properties ideally suited for measuring electron angle distributions, since toroidal analysers can be made to energy select the photoelectrons while preserving the initial angle of emission.
A schematic diagram of the apparatus is shown below indicating the relative orientation of the two partial toroidal analysers and their respective detectors. The electrostatic analysers are independent, i.e. they are able to detect dissimilar electron energies, with different resolutions. Electrons emerge from central interaction region defined by the intersection of the photon and gas beams. Photoelectrons emitted in the plane orthogonal to the photon beam that enter the analysers are focused at the toroidal entrance slit. Electrons of a specific energy traverse the gap between two toroidal surfaces to the exit slits of each analyser. The exit lenses accelerate and re-focus the energy-resolved electrons to their respective two-dimensional position-sensitive detectors. The final images are circular arcs in shape (with circle centres on the photon axis), in which the position around the perimeter is directly related to the initial azimuthal photoelectron emission angle, which is defined relative to the light polarisation direction.
Electrons arriving anywhere on one detector can be correlated with electrons detected simultaneously anywhere on the other detector. This enables independent angular distributions to be measured concurrently.

Future Prospects
This apparatus was primarily developed to investigate electron-electron correlation in double ionization of atomic and molecular targets – a subject that continues to be of intense theoretical interest. The main challenge now is multiple particle detection - e.g. (,e+ion), (,2e+ion), (,3e) - using Auger and/or photoelectrons in coincidence with fragment ions on simple systems that are theoretically tractable. Such studies will be most sensitive to electron-ion correlation / dichroism / interference effects in the ionization/dissociation of light molecules.
Experimentally, this requires helical / linear undulators at the Canadian Light Source, together with the continued development of detector technology.
