What Does SRPA Stand For?

SRPA stands for Spherical Retarding Potential Analyzer

The Spherical Retarding Potential Analyzer (SRPA) is an advanced scientific instrument used to measure the energy distribution of charged particles. Utilizing a spherical geometry, the SRPA applies a retarding potential to selectively detect particles based on their kinetic energy. This capability makes it essential for applications in fields such as plasma physics, space exploration, and materials science, where understanding particle dynamics is crucial for research and development. The SRPA provides high-resolution data essential for analyzing the behavior of ions and electrons in various environments.
