Article Abstract
Ion trap usually serves as a TOF pusher region in ion trap time-of-flight mass spectrometer (IT/TOF), achieving benefits of high duty cycle, MS/MS capability, and high mass resolution. While a short ion trap rod length improves TOF resolution, it limits the mass range in coaxial IT/TOF. Through a computational study based on SIMION simulations, this work systematically investigates the influence of geometric parameters (trap rod length) and voltage parameters (bias DC voltage, end-cap electrode voltage) on the mass range of coaxial IT-TOF systems. By optimizing length of trap rod, over 90% injection efficiency was achieved within a m/z 400-1400 without sacrificing mass resolution. By implementing DC bias voltage adjustments for low-m/z ions and step voltage optimization on end-cap electrodes for high-m/z ions, the simulated mass range is extended to m/z 200-1400 with minimal mass discrimination. All above these findings are derived solely from simulation analysis.

In charge detection mass spectrometry (CD-MS) ions are trapped in an electrostatic linear ion trap (ELIT) where they oscillate back and forth through a conducting cylinder. The oscillating ions induce a periodic charge separation that is detected by a charge sensitive amplifier (CSA) connected to the cylinder. The resulting time domain signal is analyzed using short-time Fourier transforms to give the mass-to-charge ratio and charge for each ion, which are then multiplied to give the mass.

Chronic treatment with fluoxetine, a widely prescribed selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI), is known to promote neural plasticity. The role of fluoxetine in plasticity has been particularly tied to parvalbumin-positive interneurons, a key population of GABAergic neurons that regulate inhibitory tone and network stability. While our previous studies have highlighted fluoxetine-induced plasticity in the visual cortex and hippocampus, its cell-type-specific effects in the prefrontal cortex (PFC) remain unclear.

The ion-optical properties of the second stability region () formed by the square wave shape potential with a duty cycle of 50% are studied as applied to the operation of a linear ion trap. The stability diagram is presented in detail, the stability parameters and , which determine the spectrum of ion oscillations, are calculated; the pseudopotential well-depth for this zone is given. The LIT acceptances for sinusoidal and rectangular wave forms are shown for comparison.

An electrostatic linear ion trap (ELIT) is used to trap ions between two ion mirrors with image current detection by central detection electrode. Transformation of the time-domain signal to the frequency-domain via Fourier transform (FT) yields an ion frequency spectrum that can be converted to a mass-to-charge scale. Injection of ions into an ELIT from an external ion source leads to a time-of-flight ion separation that ultimately determines the range of over which ions can be collected from a given ion injection step.

We present two newly constructed experimental setups-REBEL (Resonant Excitation of Beams with Electromagnetic fields and Lasers) and STRIPE (Stopping and Trapping of Radioactive Isotopes for Precision Experiments)-integrated into a single offline beamline at KU Leuven. REBEL is designed for collinear laser spectroscopy of ion bunches, including isobaric separation with a multi-reflection time-of-flight mass spectrometer, enabling high-sensitivity measurements of mass-selected fast-ion beams. In contrast, STRIPE focuses on the deceleration, trapping, and laser cooling of ions in a segmented linear Paul trap, optimized for long interrogation times and precision spectroscopy.
