Figure 2: Two-stage tandem accelerator (see text). Figure 8: Schematic diagram showing the ion trajectories in an accelerator mass spectrometer with application to 10Be. Negative ions of BeO leave the source and are mass analyzed with 10BeO− directed into the accelerator and 9BeO− into a Faraday cup. The molecular ions are broken up by gas and a thin carbon foil in the high-voltage terminal with much of the 10Be ionized to the 3+ charge state. The emerging ions pass through a velocity selector, are again analyzed for mass, and pass to the detector. Velocity selection is attained by a magnetic field and an electric field that are orthogonal to one another and to the beam direction; they are adjusted so that no deflection takes place for ions of the desired velocity.

mass spectrometry

  • Figure 1: An electron bombardment ion source in cross section. An electron beam is drawn from the filament and accelerated across the region in which the ions are formed and toward the electron trap. An electric field produced by the repeller forces the ion beam from the source through the exit slit.
    In mass spectrometry: Operation of the tandem electrostatic accelerator

    The tandem electrostatic accelerator (see particle accelerator: Van de Graaff generators) quickly displaced all other machines for this purpose, primarily because its ion source, the cesium sputter source described above, is located near ground potential and is easily accessible for changing samples.…

    …accelerators still in use are two-stage tandem accelerators. These devices provide a beam with twice the energy that could be achieved by one application of the high voltage. For the first stage of a tandem accelerator, an ion source yields a beam of protons, which are accelerated to a low…
