This report was originally written as part of the Physics Analysis Document for the End-Loss Ion Energy Spectrometer for MFTF. In the course of that analysis, we investigated many possibilities. We have decided that this survey of the different types of analyzers and detectors could be of use to others facing a similar choice. The Appendix covers a formalism developed for finding the trajectories of charged particles in constant, uniform, but otherwise arbitrary electric and magnetic fields.
