Abstract:We developed an autocorrelation function to resolve the overtaking problem in a multiturn time‐of‐flight mass spectrometer (TOF–MS). The function analyzes the characteristic period for one lap of each ion packet and derives a mass spectrum from a signal pulse train composed of multiturn ion packets. To detect the ion pulse train, a new nondestructive ion detector was developed and installed in the multiturn orbit of MULTUM‐S II. This detector is composed of an electrostatically induced charge detector, a pream… Show more
