Photon-photon coincidence apparatus with position sensitive detectors

摘要

An apparatus for the coincident detection of two photons in the visible and VUV spectral range is presented equipped with two position- and time resolving detectors. The equipment enables angular resolution for the detected photons and thus allows an angular correlation between the two detected photons without changing the target cell geometry. Two different configurations of this apparatus are presented and compared in terms of solid angle coverage, imaging properties and suitability for their use in gas phase experiments at synchrotron radiation facilities.
