Abstract

The design of a new type of dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) ion source for ambient ionization is described. In this ion source, the DBD plasma is confined in the DBD tube so that the sample gases can be ionized just outside of the discharge tube by DBD excited helium gas without being exposed to the plasma jet. The findings indicate that the ion source is capable of the soft and high-sensitive ionization of explosives.
