Preferred Label : momentum spectrum;
IUPAC definition : A spectrum which is obtained when a beam of ions is separated according to the momentum-to-charge
ratios of the ionic species contained within it. A sector magnetic field achieves
separation of the various ionic species in this way. If the ion beam is homogeneous
in translational energy, as is the case with sector instruments, separation according
to the m/z ratios is also achieved and a mass spectrum is obtained.;
