Abstract
The peak shape narrows and the resolution improves if the ions are simply r eflected back and forth through a conventional quadrupole mass analyzer, CO + and N-2(+) at m/z = 28 are separated to 50% valley with half of the origi nal signal remaining. These two ions can be resolved to baseline (m/Delta m ) = 5000 with 1% of the original signal remaining.
