Development of a laser ion source for xenon

Description

An ion source for xenon has been developed based on resonant laser ionization of xenon atoms. The source combines high sensitivity with chemical selectivity. The values for the sensitivity and selectivity obtained are 2.5x10-4 Amp/Torr and 40, respectively. The latter value is a lower limit. This ion source is now implemented into a time of flight mass spectrometer. (orig.)
