TL;DRAbstract

The design of a compact ({le}10 cm{sup 3}) time resolved ({le} 5 ns) spectrometer for megavolt ion diodes is described. The spectrometer consists of several ultra thin ({approx} 1 {mu}m), large area ({approx} 1 cm{sup 2}) surface barrier detectors. They are arranged so that ions are transmitted through many detectors until they are stopped by the semiconductor material. The electron-hole pairs produced as the ions are stopped by the material can be rapidly detected by placing metal contacts on both sides of the surface barrier detectors and totally depleting the thin semiconductor region.
