Mass Spectrometry - Future Perceptions and Applications

acetylene evaporation population grow by about 20% as the delay is varied from 0 to 5 μs. Importantly, this work demonstrates that the relatively simple and wellknown technique of delayed extraction time-of-flight mass spectrometry can be very useful in certain circumstances like broader energy loss mechanisms i. e, plasmon excitation in charged particle interaction with PAHs. The time evolution of a group of statistical decay channels that could otherwise be inaccessible due to the large range of decay constants can be probed using this unique technique.
