Abstract

A simple, tabletop, linear accelerator based on low duty factor square wave pulses has been developed to accelerate very heavy molecular ions (100-10 000 a.m.u.) to energies of tens of keV. The accelerator can be added to existing mass spectrometers to improve the detection efficiency (secondary electron yield) of both positive and negatively charged clusters.
