that occur in a collision cell (containing a gas, N) located in a field-free region preceding a magnetic and electric sector combination placed in either order may be detected as follows: If the instrument slits are wide, and if the electric sector field E is set to half the value required to transmit the main ion-beam, the only ions to be transmitted will be those with a kinetic energy-to-charge ratio half that of the main ion-beam. The product | that occur in a collision cell (containing a gas, N) located in a [[field-free region]] preceding a magnetic and [[electric sector]] combination placed in either order may be detected as follows: If the instrument slits are wide, and if the [[electric sector]] field E is set to half the value required to transmit the main ion-beam, the only ions to be transmitted will be those with a kinetic energy-to-charge ratio half that of the main ion-beam. The [[product ion]]s of the [[charge-stripping]] process fulfil this condition. If the magnetic field B is scanned, a [[mass spectrum]] of such doubly charged [[product ion]]s, and thus their singly charged precursors, is obtained. Such a spectrum is called an E/2 mass spectrum.
