New method for the monochromatization of ion beams of mass spectrometric sources

In this work a new method of monochromatization and formation of the ion beam produced by mass-spectrometer ion sources with a wide energy range distribution is proposed. The method is based on converting the ion energy spectrum by the electric field pulse shock on ions in nonuniform electric field. The proposed method is radically different from those based on the dissipation ion energy in the collision cells.
