Fig. 7From: Design and characterization of a linear quadrupole ion trap for high-resolution Coulomb-crystal time-of-flight mass spectrometry a Plot of the post-ejection-acceleration time delay versus the ion time-of-flight for 3 different ion species. Each data point corresponds to the peak center of an average over 5 TOF traces. The error bars give the FWHM of the peaks. b Averaged TOF traces at acceleration delays that produce the sharpest Ca + signal. Each trace is an average over 5 experiments. c Averaged TOF traces at acceleration delays that produce the sharpest CaO + signal. Each trace is an average over 5 experiments. d Averaged TOF traces at acceleration delays that produce the sharpest CaOH + signal. Each trace is an average over 5 experimentsBack to article page
