HYBRID APPARATUS, SYSTEM AND TECHNIQUES FOR MASS ANALYZED ION BEAM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18131287 titled 'HYBRID APPARATUS, SYSTEM AND TECHNIQUES FOR MASS ANALYZED ION BEAM
The abstract describes an apparatus with an electrodynamic mass analysis (EDMA) assembly, a deflection assembly, and an energy spread reducer (ESR) for analyzing masses.
- The EDMA assembly consists of upper and lower electrodes to receive RF voltage signals at specific frequencies.
- The deflection assembly includes a blocker along the beam axis to control the trajectory of particles.
- The ESR, located downstream of the deflection assembly, reduces energy spread by receiving RF voltage signals at twice the frequency of the EDMA assembly.
- The ESR comprises upper and lower electrodes to manipulate the energy spread of particles.
Potential Applications: - Mass spectrometry - Particle physics research - Chemical analysis
Problems Solved: - Precise mass analysis of particles - Energy spread reduction - Control of particle trajectories

Original Abstract Submitted
An apparatus, including an electrodynamic mass analysis (EDMA) assembly. The EDMA assembly may include a first upper electrode, disposed above a beam axis; and a first lower electrode, disposed below the beam axis, opposite the first upper electrode, the EDMA assembly arranged to receive a first RF voltage signal at a first frequency. The apparatus may include a deflection assembly, disposed downstream to the EDMA assembly, the deflection assembly comprising a blocker, disposed along the beam axis. The apparatus may include an energy spread reducer (ESR), disposed downstream to the deflection assembly, the energy spread reducer arranged to receive a second RF voltage signal at a second frequency, twice the first frequency. The ESR may include an upper ESR electrode, disposed above the beam axis; and a lower ESR electrode, disposed below the beam axis.
