Abstract
In the imaging experiments presented in this thesis MCPs were used mainly. It was necessary to gate the MCP to avoid influences of signals caused by electrons or X-rays and to achieve an energy selection of the proton signal. Thus, the detector is sensitive in a short time window only (gating time). Due to the broad energy distribution the proton bunch is temporally stretched during the propagation. For the interpretation of the imaging pictures the gating time and the energy of the detected protons signal have to be known. Therefore proton spectra were measured using a Thomson spectrometer and the gated MCPs. In the following the analysis of these spectra will be discussed which delivers the gating time and the proton energy.
