Retarding-potential energy analyzers have long been used for energy spread measurements in low-energy beams. In addition to energy spread and energy profile measurements, a high-resolution analyzer can be used to reconstruct the longitudinal phase space. This is useful for our experimental studies of longitudinal physics topics, such as dispersion, space charge waves, and longitudinal focusing. A previous energy analyzer designed at the University of Maryland demonstrated high-resolution measurements of a 5 keV electron beam.* Motivated by the need to characterize the 10 keV electron beam of the University of Maryland Electron Ring, we have improved on the design of the earlier analyzer, increasing its high voltage breakdown threshold and vacuum performance. Results of high-voltage testing and particle optics simulations of the new design are presented. *Y. Cui, Y.
