Fourier transform time-of-flight mass spectrometry in an electrostatic ion beam trap

S Ring, HB Pedersen, O Heber, ML Rappaport… - Analytical …, 2000 - ACS Publications
We report on the application of an electrostatic ion beam trap as a mass spectrometer. The
instrument is analogous to an optical resonator; ions are trapped between focusing mirrors …

Dissociative recombination of NO+: Dynamics of the X 1Σ+ and a 3Σ+ electronic states

Decay Rate Measurement of the First Vibrationally Excited State <?format ?>of in a Cryogenic Paul Trap

OO Versolato, M Schwarz, AK Hansen, AD Gingell… - Physical Review Letters, 2013 - APS
We present a method to measure the decay rate of the first excited vibrational state of polar
molecular ions that are part of a Coulomb crystal in a cryogenic linear Paul trap. Specifically …

Lifetime measurements in an electrostatic ion beam trap using image charge monitoring

I Rahinov, Y Toker, O Heber, D Strasser… - Review of Scientific …, 2012 - pubs.aip.org
