Performance of a Prototype MR-TOF-MS for the LEB of the Super-FRS

A multiple-reflection time-of-flight mass spectrometer (MR-TOF-MS) [1] will be an important part of the MATS/LaSpec beam-line at the Low-Energy-Branch (LEB) of the Super-FRS at FAIR. The MR-TOF-MS is a fast (∼ms), multi-purpose, non-scanning mass spectrometer with single-ion sensitivity and will be used as a broadband mass spectrometer, as isobar separator or for direct mass measurements of ver...
