Abstract: | We introduce a modification of reflectron time-of-flight mass spectrometer for laser photodis-
sociation of mass-selected ions. In our apparatus, the ions of interests were selected by a
mass gate near the first space focus point and decelerated right after the mass gate, were then
crossed by a laser beam for dissociation. The daughter ions and surviving parent ions were
re-accelerated and analyzed by the reflectron time-of-flight mass spectrometer. Compared to the designs reported by other research groups, our selection-deceleration-dissociation-reacceleration approach has better daughter-parent-ions-separation, easier laser timing, and better overlapping between the ion beam and laser beam. We also conducted detailed calculations on the parent ion and daughter ion flight times, and provided a simplified formula for the calibration of daughter ion mass. |
