The absolute detection efficiency of a tapered microchannel plate with an open-area ratio of 90% was measured for Ne(+) with energies up to 5 keV, and comparison with the results for Xe(+) was made. As in the case of Xe(+), the maximum detection efficiency was 90%. The energy dependence of the efficiency curves normalized with respect to the open-area ratios was examined based on the scaling law proposed previously.
