Description: 
To study electron momentum densities in solids by grazing angle reflection kinematics has been shown to be feasible [S. Iacobucci, S. Rioual, A. Ruocco, M. Mastropietro, G. Stefani, Surf. Sci. 454 (2000) 1026], but development of this spectroscopy has been hampered by long acquisition time; to fully exploit potentialities of this method is mandatory to reduce duration of the experiment within times comparable with clean surface lifetimes in ultra-high vacuum. This paper reports on recent developments of the reflection (e,2e) spectrometer that make a sizeable step forward in attaining this goal. It operates in asymmetric kinematics and at small grazing angle, thus allowing to enhance the surface sensitivity. A drastic reduction in acquisition time has been achieved by implementing parallel acquisition, both in energy and angle, of the detected electron pairs. To achieve parallel acquisition in energy and momentum, each …
