    摘要: In a mass spectrometer, a DC power supply amplifier is additionally provided in a circuit for generating an accelerating voltage of an electron beam for ionizing radicals. A "potential for ionization of radicals" is applied as a reference voltage of the accelerating voltage of the radical ionizing electron beam, and an output signal of the mass spectrometer is measured as a background signal strength. Then, the DC power supply amplifier is controlled to alternately supply the "potential for ionization of radicals" and a "potential slightly lower than a potential for dissociative ionization of parent gas or dissociative ionization of parent radicals", as the accelerating voltage of the radical ionizing electron beam. A difference between the background signal strength and the output signal of the mass spectrometer when the "potential slightly lower than a potential for dissociative ionization of parent gas or dissociative ionization of parent radicals" is applied as the accelerating voltage of the radical ionizing electron beam, reflects the density of radicals.
