An RF quadrupole–time-of-flight system for isobar-separation and multiplexed low-energy Rare-Isotope Beam experiments
A novel system consisting of RF quadrupole and time-of-flight sections is proposed, in which ions can be cooled, bunched, mass separated with a resolution sufficient to differentiate between isobars, and gu...
