Preferred Label : mass resolving power;
Detailed label : mass resolving power in mass spectrometry;
IUPAC definition : Commonly and also acceptably defined in terms of the overlap (or 'valley') between
two peaks. Thus for two peaks of equal height, masses m 1 and m 2, when there is overlap
between the two peaks to a stated percentage of either peak height (10% is recommended),
then the resolving power is defined as m 1 m 1- m 2. The percentage overlap (or 'valley')
concerned must always be stated.;
