MINIATURE CHARGED PARTICLE TRAP WITH ELONGATED TRAPPING REGION FOR MASS SPECTROMETRY |
摘要 |
A miniature electrode apparatus is disclosed for trapping charged particles, the apparatus including, along a longitudinal direction: a first end cap electrode; a central electrode having an aperture; and a second end cap electrode. The aperture is elongated in the lateral plane and extends through the central electrode along the longitudinal direction and the central electrode surrounds the aperture in a lateral plane perpendicular to the longitudinal direction to define a transverse cavity for trapping charged particles. |

1. A miniature electrode apparatus for trapping charged particles, the apparatus comprising, along a longitudinal direction:
a first end cap electrode; a central electrode having an aperture; and a second end cap electrode, wherein the aperture extends through the central electrode along the longitudinal direction and the central electrode surrounds the aperture in a lateral plane perpendicular to the longitudinal direction to define a transverse cavity for trapping charged particles, wherein the aperture in the central electrode is elongated in the lateral plane, having a ratio of a major dimension to a minor dimension greater than 1.5, wherein the major dimension is the distance of the longest straight line traversing the aperture in the lateral plane and the minor dimension is the distance of the longest straight line traversing the aperture in the lateral plane perpendicular to the line corresponding to the major dimension, and wherein the minor dimension is less than 10 mm; wherein each end cap comprises a planar conductive member having a plurality of holes extending through the conductive member along the longitudinal direction. |
