Fig. 4. Typical broad electron spectrum measured with 1.2 Tesla magnetic spectrometer; inset: filtered image of measured electron energy spectrum.
Fig. 5. Short focal experimental setup.
Fig. 6. Normalized reflection of the probe at the target for different time delays with VEGA 2. Dotted lines are guides for eyes.
