Abstract
The software program consists in two sections. The first one permits to identify the IEA ion peaks corresponding to different charge states as a function of the theoretical TOF values. The second section permits to plot the ion velocity and energy distributions as a function of the charge state. The obtained distributions are fitted using the “Coulomb-Boltzamnn shifted” function approach through the “Peakfit” code. The fit of the experimental data permits to estimate the equivalent plasma temperature and the average energy shift of the distributions as a function of the ion charge state.
