Title: 3D velocity map imaging of electrons with TPX3CAM

Abstract

In this report we demonstrate three-dimensional velocity map imaging of low energy electrons using a TPX3CAM, where the three-dimensional momentum information [$$p_x, p_y, p_z$$] is encoded in position and timing [x, y, t] of hits on the camera sensor. We make use of the camera sensor for the [x, y] information and a constant fraction discriminator and fast time to digital converter in the camera for the time information. We illustrate the capabilities of our apparatus by presenting above threshold ionization measurements of xenon, which produces well defined structures in the momentum resolved photoelectron yield.
