Abstract: A compact high-resolution variable-focusing retarding field energy analyzer has been developed to measure the energy spread of space-charge-dominated electron beams. A cylindrical focusing electrode is used to overcome the beam expansion inside the device due to space-charge forces, beam emittance, etc. The focusing voltage is independently adjustable to provide proper focusing strength. Single particle simulation and theoretical error analysis using beam envelopes show that this energy analyzer can get very high resolution for low-energy beams, which was found to be in good agreement with experimental results. The measured beam energy spectrum is both temporally and spatially resolved. In addition, a computer-controlled automatic system is developed to provide real-time data acquisition and processing. The measurements of the beam energy spread are compared with the theoretical predictions. It is believed that coupling between the transverse and longitudinal directions via Coulomb c...
