Abstract :
A correlation method of nonperturbing control of ion energy spectra is suggested. The method is based on measurements of a mutual correlation function between fluxes of particles or target photons, pseudorandomly modulated in time and that of fast neutrals formed at the target and detected on the drift distance. Characteristics of the apparatus realizing the proposed diagnostical method in a source of H/sup -/ ions have been evaluated.<>
