First-order focusing characteristic of hemispherical deflection analyzers (HDAs) is limited due to fringing field at the boundaries of the electrodes. In this paper, we present a systematic study of fringing field effects for different ratios of the gap to mean radius in the range of 0.2 <= Delta R/R-m <= 0.6 and compare the performance of some useful designs, i. e., ideal HDA, fringing field HDA, Herzog correction, Jost correction, tilted input beam angle, and biased paracentric configuration for resolution improvement.
