We present a method which makes use of ion trajectory simulations to reconstruct ion-kinetic-energy (KE) distributions from ion-time-of-flight (TOF) spectra. Sufficient conditions for a unique calibration to experimental parameters are presented, where the calibrated simulation extrapolates to a set of energy-dependent TOF basis functions, allowing conversion between TOF and KE coordinates. We demonstrate this reconstruction method on a recent XUV-UV pump-probe laser experiment on helium nanodroplets at the free-electron laser FERMI in Trieste [1], where relaxation from the 1s3p/1s4p droplet absorption band was time-resolved, using a Wiley-McLaren-type ion-TOF spectrometer in combination with a magnetic bottle electron spectrometer [2,3].
