Preferred Label : ion cyclotron resonance (ICR) mass spectrometer;
IUPAC synonym : ICR mass spectrometer;
IUPAC acronym : ICR;
IUPAC definition : A high-frequency mass spectrometer in which the ions to be detected, with a selected
value of the quotient mass/charge, absorb maximum energy through the effect of a high-frequency
electric field and a constant magnetic field perpendicular to the electric field.
Maximum energy is gained by the ions which satisfy the cyclotron resonance condition
and as a result they are separated from ions of different mass/charge.;
