Abstract

See full text

In a method and apparatus for adjusting a composite electric field to be applied to an ion trap to accommodate switching the operation of the ion trap between a positive ion mode and a negative ion mode, the composite electric field includes a plurality of component fields including at least one AC trapping field and one or more supplemental AC fields. A phase of one or more of the component fields is adjusted such that a force imparted by the composite field to a negative ion in the ion trap will be substantially the same as the force imparted by the composite field to a positive ion in the ion trap.
