Particle dynamics and collimation in the Thomson spectrometer system are discussed. A compact spectrometer which consists of a unique pinhole arrangment, a pair of permanent magnets, and CR-39 detector is described with a few practical calibration techniques. Applications including analysis of charge-to-mass ratio and construction of charge state resolved energy spectra are discussed with experimental examples.
