A beta-ray spectrograph has been constructed in which electrons move radially outward against a retarding electric field, and the current due to those electrons having more than any given energy is measured. Momentum resolution is one-third percent. The insensitivity of current collection, as compared to single particle detection, is compensated by a large tolerable source area and a large useful solid angle subtended at the source by the detector.
Hamilton et al. (1950) studied this question.
