Ion cyclotron resonance spectrometry

Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometry: a primer.

This review offers an introduction to the principles and generic applications of FT-ICR mass spectrometry, directed to readers with no prior experience with the technique. We are able to explain the fundamental FT-ICR phenomena from a simplified theoretical treatment of ion behavior in idealized magnetic and electric fields. The effects of trapping voltage, trap size and shape, and other nonide...

Probing trapped ion energies via ion-molecule reaction kinetics: Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometry.

The kinetic energy-dependent Ar(+)+ N2 ion-molecule reaction has been used as a chemical "thermometer" to determine the kinetic energy of ions produced by electron ionization and trapped by using a Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance (FTICR) mass spectrometer. The rate constant for this reaction obtained on the FTICR mass spectrometer was compared to previous work, which allowed a kinetic...

In Ion-cyclotron Resonance Heating

We determine the conditions under which the damping of the fast Alfven wave, used in the heating of tokamak plasmas, can be described by the geometrical optics approximations. Also, for these conditions, we derive an analytical formula which explicitly determines the amount of energy which is damped onto the plasma particles by the fast wave. The conditions for the validity of the geometrical o...
