TIMESPAN MASS SPECTROMETER WITH NON-LINEAR REFLECTOR Russian patent published in 2014 - IPC H01J49/40 

FIELD: instrument making.

SUBSTANCE: timespan mass spectrometer with a non-linear reflector comprises a drift tube, a source of ions, an accelerating net, a source of current and voltage, a source of pulse voltage that varies in time, a net that limits the non-linear reflector, a non-linear reflector and a receiver of ions in the form of a microchannel plate. The non-linear reflector is made in the form of a set of rings of various diameter, the source of current and voltage is connected to rings, the source of pulse voltage that varies in time is connected to the accelerating net, the drift tube and the net that limits the non-linear reflector are grounded.

EFFECT: higher resolution and sensitivity during analysis of ion conductivity of neutral gas.
