A novel principle for an ion mirror design in time-of-flight mass spectrometry

Wurz, P.; Altwegg, K.; Balsiger, H. +7 more

A novel design for a gridless two-stage ion mirror, or reflectron, for time-of-flight mass spectrometry (TOFMS) will be presented. The development of this novel design was driven by the stringent engineering requirements for the ion mirror's utilization by the reflectron time-of-flight (RTOF) sensor in the Rosetta orbiter spectrometer for ion and …
