β¦ Synopsis
The pulsed ion sources used in conventional time-of-flight mass spectrometry (TOFMS) generally do not provide adequate resolving power across the mass range required for applications such as gas chromatography combined with mass spectrometry (GUMS). Theoretical and experimental aspects of beam deflection techniques, which provide time encoding for TOFMS with continuous ions sources, are explored here. In this approach, ion source conditions do not affect resolving power, allowing for a greater variety of ionization modes to be

Multi-photon excitation in a time-of-flight mass spectrometer (TOF-MS) is shown to lead to threshold ions with defined internal energy. A powerful technique for the production of threshold ions is based on the excitation of high long-lived Rydberg states embedded in the ionization continuum. The Ryd
