Nitrogen-bearing polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons Archives

Schematic drawing of the modified 22-pole radio frequency ion trap setup. The ions are produced between the first two plates of the ion guide by electron impact ionization and repelled towards the QMS-1. Mass-selected ions are injected into the 22-pole trap. The trap is equipped with neutral and pulsed buffer gas input ports. A neutral density measurement gauge (Pfeiffer CMR 375) is also connected to the trap volume. After a specified trapping time, the ions are mass-analyzed by QMS-2 and counted in the CEM detector. -- astro-ph.GA
