## Abstract The apperrance of peaks at non‐integral masses in linked scans, where the ratio __B__/__E__ is kept constant, is shown to be caused by fragmentations of metastable ions occuring in the region between the magnetic and electric sectors. A formula is given for calculating the mass of the p
