Abstract

The achievable resolving power in time-of-flight mass spectrometry was investigated. It is fundamentally a function of both the initial spatial and energy distributions of the ion population immediately prior to acceleration and mass analysis. These distributions manifest themselves as a temporal distribution at the detector and ultimately limit the resolving power. Time-of-flight mass spectrometers typically achieve temporal ion focusing using linear electric fields in the ion source.
