Abstract:
Using dichroic electrostatic mirrors, which can reflect a fast ion beam while transmitting a counterion beam, allows extending the field of electrostatic ion trapping. We present the design and simulations of a hybrid electrostatic ion beam trap that allows simultaneous trapping of velocity matched cation and anion beams. The possible merged beam ion-ion, ion-neutral, and ion-laser experiments are discussed.

1.3K
The quadrupole mass analyzer consists of four cylindrical metal rods arranged in a diamond carrying a DC voltage and a radio-frequency AC voltage. The motion of ions through the quadrupole depends on the field strength, causing only ions of a certain m/z to resonate successfully and strike the detector at a given field strength. Though the transmission rate for these analyzers is high, the exact elemental composition of the sample is not determined because of low resolution; however, they are...

1.4K
The molecular ion peak of a molecule in the mass spectrum provides vital information for molecular identification. However, conventional electron impact ionization can lead to the rapid dissociation of some molecular ions before they reach the detector. A milder ionization method is required to increase the lifetime of such ionized analyte molecules. Chemical ionization (CI) is a gas-phase protonation reaction useful for mass-analyzing analyte molecules that are easily protonated to yield the...
