Abstract

AbstractAdditional ion acceleration in a separate collision chamber in the field free drift region makes it possible to add extra kinetic energy to those ions undergoing decomposition in the chamber. In this way product ions formed in the collision chamber (the [collisional activation] spectrum) can be distinguished from ions formed from decompositions in the low pressure portion of the field free drift region (the [metastable ion] spectrum). This technique is used to show that often a relatively small proportion of the ions in the [pure] collisional activation spectrum arises from processes which produce the metastable ion spectrum.
