Imaging particle detectors based on the cylindrically symmetric top hat analyzer optics are used in plasma instruments for many of the current generation of spacecraft, including Wind, Cluster, Fast, Mars Observer, Mars Global Surveyor, Lunar Prospector, and numerous sounding rockets. These instruments are designed to provide rapid measurements of particle distribution functions with good phase space resolution. Design details can be optimized for measuring specific plasma populations, such a cold beams, hot distributions, or loss cone features. The top hat geometry is a simple extension of traditional spherical section electrostatic analyzer optics, but there are several interacting design parameters that are not uniquely determined. For specified values of geometric factor, energy resolution and angular acceptance, analytic expressions can be used to specify preliminary mechanical dimensions. This initial design is then optimized by a computer trajectory-tracing program that accounts for additional design details such as input aperture collimation and particle detector location, or other optical elements such as input deflectors or time-of-flight detectors. Once the optical design is specified, additional design considerations are addressed, such as the particle detection method, suppression of UV and electron scattering, contamination control, electrical interfacing, and general mechanical packaging. Examples of several current flight instruments are described.
