ABSTRACT:
In a mass spectrometer, an ion source in combination with an accelerator comprising an electron source, a gate electrode constructed so as to block the flow of electrons from the source when a potential is applied, a sample introduction means for transporting carrier gas containing analytes, an ionization chamber positioned to receive the flow of electrons and the carrier gas, wherein the flow of electrons ionizes the carrier gas, a pulsed accelerator, and an ion transfer region situated so that the ionized carrier gas travels from the ionization chamber, through the ion transfer region and into an accelerator. The gate electrode and the pulsed accelerator are controlled in a timed relationship to control the amount off carrier gas being ionized and traveling into the accelerator between accelerator pulses so as to improve the dynamic range of the mass spectrometer and to selectively accelerate a particular mass range.
