Superconducting nanowire detectors (SND) have been applied for time-of-flight mass spectrometry (TOF-MS). In this study, we used the SND having a meander pattern, which consists of a very thin niobium nitride (NbN) stripline with a thickness of 6.8 nm and a width of 200 nm on a MgO substrate. The ex
The performance of an energy sensitive, niobium superconducting tunnel junction (STJ) detector is investigated by measuring the pulse height produced by impacting molecular and atomic ions at different kinetic energies. Ions are produced by laser desorption and matrix-assisted laser desorption in a
Recent and ongoing advances in timing electronics together with the development of ionization techniques suited to time-of-flight mass spectrometry (TOF-MS) have contributed to renewed interest in this method of mass analysis. Whereas low resolving powers (m/†m < 500) were once an almost unavoidable
