Investigation of the Operation of the Flight Detector of High-Speed Charged Microparticles for a Time-of-Flight Mass Spectrometer

The paper considers various designs of detectors for the passage of charged microparticles, which can be installed on mass spectrometers in order to record the moment of passage of a microparticle and initiate the measurement process. The largest range of recorded masses and velocities was shown by the detector design, made on the basis of a dielectric base (PLA plastic) using a 3D printer and a nichrome filament.
