FIELD: physics.
SUBSTANCE: in the spectrum mass scanning process the amplitude Ve and the frequency Ωe of the exciting voltage are changed in time, and the amplitude V and the frequency ω of the high voltage u1 and u2 remain constant, wherein the time-change laws of the amplitude Ve(T) and the frequency Ωe(T) of the exciting voltage are chosen so that the absolute resolution Δm of the linear trap with the dipole excitation in the range of the masses mmin-mmax remains constant.
EFFECT: simplification of the mass scanning system and the high-frequency power supply of the linear quadrupole ion traps with a resonance output of the ions.
