Higher order parametric excitation modes for spaceborne quadrupole mass spectrometers.
This paper describes a technique to significantly improve upon the mass peak shape and mass resolution of spaceborne quadrupole mass spectrometers (QMSs) through higher order auxiliary excitation of the quadrupole field. Using a novel multiresonant tank circuit, additional frequency components can be used to drive modulating voltages on the quadrupole rods in a practical manner, suitable for bo...
متن کاملResonance excitation and dynamic collision-induced dissociation in quadrupole ion traps using higher-order excitation frequencies.
Fragmentation of the pentapeptide leucine enkephalin (YGGFL) is accomplished via higher-order resonances combined with simultaneous analysis of low-mass product ions. Two methods of achieving excitation are explored: (1) 0.5 ms resonant excitation at the omega and at Omega-omega secular frequencies of ion motion (where Omega is the radio-frequency (rf) drive frequency) in a manner similar to bo...
متن کاملDevelopment of quadrupole mass spectrometers using rapid prototyping technology.
In this report, we present a prototype design of a quadrupole mass filter (QMF) with hyperbolic electrodes, fabricated at the University of Liverpool using digital light processing (DLP), a low-cost and lightweight 3D rapid prototyping (RP) technique. Experimental mass spectra are shown for H(2)(+), D(2)(+), and He(+) ions to provide proof of principle that the DLP mass filter is working as a m...
متن کاملHigher Order Sliding Modes
One of the most important control problems is control under heavy uncertainty conditions. While there are a number of sophisticated methods like adaptation based on identi cation and observation, or absolute stability methods, the most obvious way to withstand the uncertainty is to keep some constraints by "brutal force". Indeed any strictly kept equality removes one "uncertainty dimension". Th...
متن کاملHigher-order asymptotics for the parametric complexity
The parametric complexity is the key quantity in the minimum description length (MDL) approach to statistical model selection. Rissanen and others have shown that the parametric complexity of a statistical model approaches a simple function of the Fisher information volume of the model as the sample size n goes to infinity. This paper derives higher-order asymptotic expansions for the parametri...
