title: Strategy for pulsed ionization methods on a sector mass spectrometer.
abstract: A method to help facilitate efficient implementation of pulsed ionization methods on a double-focusing sector mass spectrometer is described here. This method involves the addition of an inductive detector between the electric and magnetic sectors. The inductive detector will allow a crude, but complete time-of-flight mass spectrum to be acquired with as little as a single laser shot, thereby avoiding the necessity of sequentially compiling limited mass ranges as has been done previously. Mass analysis by the complete sector instrument can be performed simultaneously with the time-of-flight analysis.
