Multiple-reflection time-of-flight mass spectrometry is an emerging technique that meets the
challenges of mass spectrometry at current and future accelerator facilities for the research …

In charge detection mass spectrometry (CDMS), ions are passed through a detection tube
and the m/z ratio and charge are determined for each ion. The uncertainty in the charge and …

Single ion mass measurements allow mass distributions to be recorded for heterogeneous
samples that cannot be analyzed by conventional mass spectrometry. In charge detection …

A charge detection mass spectrometer (CDMS) with a limit of detection of 30 elementary
charges (e) for a single ion is described. The new CDMS consists of an electrospray source …

A new charge detection mass spectrometer that combines array detection and electrostatic
ion trap** to repeatedly measure the masses of single ions is described. This instrument …

Using a new type of ion trap, we demonstrate that the length of a packet of charged particles
oscillating between two electrostatic mirrors will remain constant under special conditions …

We describe a new mass spectrometric technique that is based on the use of a linear
electrostatic ion trap and a newly discovered self-bunching phenomenon. Ions are stored in …
