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.
