  • Energy Focus for Distance of Flight Mass Spectometry with Constant Momentum Acceleration and an Ion Mirror
    Publication number: 20080017792
    Abstract: A distance-of-flight mass spectrometer (DOF-MS) imparts constant momentum acceleration to ions in an ion source and uses an ion mirror to enhance energy focusing. Embodiments of DOF-MS with ion mirror are shown. Further, a method of compensating for the dispersion of initial ion position and velocity in the ion source is discussed.
