ORANGE BOOK DEFINITION
Ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometer

A high-frequency mass spectrometer in which the ions to be detected, with a selected mass/charge ratio, absorb maximum energy through the effect of a high-frequency field and a constant magnetic field perpendicular to it. Maximum energy is gained by ions that satisfy the cyclotron resonance condition and as a result these are separated from ions of different mass/charge. See also Fourier transform ion cyclotron mass spectrometer and ion trap.

GOLD BOOK DEFINITION
Ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometer

http://goldbook.iupac.org/I03162.html

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.
