A new detection device for evaluating ion energy distributions for laser-plasma ion source is demonstrated. The Imaging Plate (IP) with no protective layer as ion detector device for the Thomson Parabola spectrometeris used. The Imaging Plate Thomson Parabola spectrometer (IPTPS) is applicable for the analysis of the energydistribution of the laser-driven ion beam using an opto-electric digitizing technique.
