Abstract
A process for charge detection mass spectrometry includes acquiring a time-varying signal representative of a current induced on a detector by oscillatory motion of an ion within a trapping region; processing the time-varying signal to derive a frequency of the oscillatory motion; generating, based on the amplitude of the time-varying signal and the derived frequency of the oscillatory motion, Selective Temporal Overview of Resonant Ion (STORI) data representing STORIvalues versus time and STORIvalues versus time; regenerating the STORI data based on a variation of the frequency of the oscillatory motion over time; and determining a charge state of the ion based on the regenerated STORI data.
