A multi-mass and multi-hit two-camera 3D ion momentum imaging system

<p>We demonstrate an improved two-camera system for multi-mass and multi-hit three-dimensional (3D) momentum imaging of ions. The imaging system employs two conventional complementary metal–oxide–semiconductor cameras. We have shown previously that the system can time slice ion Newton spheres with a time resolution of 8.8&nbsp;ns, limited by camera timing jitter [J. Chem. Phys., 158, 191104 (2023)]. In this work, a jitter correction method was developed to suppress the camera jitter and improve the time resolution to better than 2&nbsp;ns. With this resolution, full 3D momentum distributions of ions can be obtained. We further show that this method can detect two ions with different masses when utilizing both the rising and falling edges of the cameras.</p>.
