Cryogenic ion trap mass spectrometer for infrared laser spectroscopy for HFML-FELIX

cover the infrared region from 2.8 – 150 µm with macropulse energies > 100 mJ (10 µs pulses @ 10 Hz). A major application of the FELs involves infrared ion spectroscopy, where vibrational spectra are obtained for the ionized molecules inside a mass spectrometer with the aim to elucidate their chemi

cal structure. For this purpose, a high-resolution and high-sensitivity cryogenic ion trap mass spectrometer (MS) is required that will meet the diverse requirements of high sensitivity in analytical applications, high resolution in MS anal
