Monte Carlo Calculations of Mass Spectrometer Flow.

Abstract

The initial phase of research to develop a Monte Carlo description of the flow within an ionic sampling mass spectrometer. Procedures for handling multiple species, chemical reactions and internal energy transfer are discussed at length. The flow through a sonic orifice for major species is computed and methods for handling minor species are presented. (Author)
