    摘要: A method and a device for the mass selective excitation of the secular oscillations of selected ion types in an RF quadrupole ion trap, including the simultaneous excitation of more than one ion type, is disclosed. The secular oscillation frequency is excited by resonances with specific frequencies of the frequency bands of the additional alternating fields, the frequency bands being generated digitally at a basic pulse rate .OMEGA.. Interfering frequency side bands .OMEGA.-.omega., .OMEGA.+.omega., 2.OMEGA.-.omega., 2.OMEGA.+.omega., etc. arise, however, for each frequency .omega. within the frequency bands. These side bands can excite and eliminate other ions, which are not to be eliminated, in an undesired manner. The invention comprises forming the side bands in such a way that they only excite the selected ions. This is done by making the basic pulse rate for digital generation of the frequency bands for the additional alternating voltage identical with the frequency of the drive voltage of the ion trap or with an integral multiple of it and coupling the basic pulse rate to it in locked phase relation.

    摘要: The measuring process for generating mass spectra using a sequentially-scanned quadrupole ion trap mass spectrometer, is improved by controlling the measurement of the ion packages ejected from the ion trap so that measurement takes place starting at the anticipated exit times of the ion packages and measurement continues only as far as possible for a time duration corresponding to the length of the ion packages. Measuring only during ion package ejection enables a measurement for the total number of ejected ions having a selected mass to be obtained by means of digital addition of the individual package measurements. Subsequent processing of the data can be carried out with practically only the fluctuations of normal ion counting statistics.

    摘要: For mass-spectroscopic examinations of gas mixtures a mass spectrometer is used which comprises a quistor in which ions of the gas mixture whose charge-to-mass ratio is located in a predetermined range are stored by generating an electromagnetic field. By varying the field parameters, the ions are forced successively to leave the ion trap. The intensity of the ion flow leaving the ion trap is measured as a function of the variation of the field parameters. For improving the resolution, one uses a quistor of the type where the distance-related ratio Q of the radii of the inscribed vertex circles of the electrodes comply with the condition Q.ltoreq.3.990, wherein ##EQU1## R.sub.e being the radius of the cross-section of the vertex of the end electrodes (3,5);R.sub.r being the radius of the cross-section of the vertex of the annular electrode (4);z.sub.o being the distance between the vertex of each end electrode (3,5) and the center of the quistor; andr.sub.o being the distance between the vertex of the annular electrode (4) and the center of the quistor.
