Abstract
The analysis of the optical properties of the electrostatic parallel plate spectrograph is extended to relativistic particles. The conditions for first and second order focusing are derived and a comparison of both types of focusing is given. The second order focusing is found to be superior with respect to intensity and resolution and to offer some other experimental advantages. The analyzer dimensions can be kept small even for high energies.Keywords
