Data confidence 70 medium

How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

We have considered a static mass-spectrometer with a double focusing beam, which is used in combination with a uniform sector magnetic field, a three electrode electrostatic prism and a transaxial lens.The chosen electrostatic system not only ensures focusing of the beam on energy, but also vastly increases the beam before entering in the magnetic field.This, in combination with the theorem on the "quality" parameter, allows greater resolution of the mass-spectrometer.The electric and magnetic fields of the mass-spectrometer are given analytically.By numerical integration of the differential equations the trajectories of the charged particles in curvilinear coordinates are calculated and the characteristics of the mass-spectrometer are deduced.This enables the parameters for the mass-spectrometer to be chosen.
