β¦ Synopsis
Statistical theories of mass spectra are based on two assumptions. The first one, which postulates efficient phase space sampling, is substantiated by various experimentation and is now theoretically much better understood. The efficiency of phase space sampling can be estimated and is found to be quite good. Much effort remains to be done concerning the second assumption. A new impetus should be given to the concept of transition state. A better understanding of the role played by the conservation of angular momentum, the exact significance of transition state switching, and the incorporation of quantum effects are set as goals for the future.

## Abstract In this paper we develop a method for the decomposition of mass spectra of gas mixtures, together with the relevant calibration measurements. The method is based on Bayesian probability theory. Given a set of spectra, the algorithm returns the relative concentrations and the associated
## Abstract We present a method for the decomposition of the mass spectra of mixed gases using Bayesian probability theory. The method works without any calibration measurement and therefore applies also to the analysis of spectra containing unstable species. For the example of mixtures of three di
