摘要

A general‐purpose ion detector has been developed for fast pulse counting in mass spectrometry. It consists of a six‐stage electron multiplier joined to part of a scintillator detector. This novel arrangement combines the virtually noiseless pulse‐amplification response of an electron multiplier with the bipolar voltage flexibility of a scintillator detector. The resulting hybrid detector is superior in performance to either an electron multiplier or a conventional scintillator detector. It is designed to detect a beam of positive ions or negative ions focused to a line image or to a spot at the focal plane of a mass analyzer. Background counting noise is less than 1 count/min when the detector is used in either the positive ion or negative ion detecting mode. Mass‐resolved ions are post‐accelerated through an electric field to give them an additional kinetic energy of 10 keV before they strike the ion‐to‐electron converter in the electron multiplier. This allows low‐energy ions to be detected with an efficiency close to unity, over a range of ion masses from 1 amu up to several hundred amu. Randomly spaced pulses can be counted at rates from 0 Hz to 10 MHz. The design of the detector and its operating characteristics are discussed.
