13. Slit widths, ion losses due to collisions with electric sector walls and entrance plates, z-axial discrimination, the translational energy distribution of the parent ion beam, the size of the field-free region within which decomposition occurs, and the contributions from decomposition within the electric sector have all been allowed for. The method is similar in its approach to that described by: Mendez Amaya, A.; Brenton, A. G.; Szulejko, J. E.; Beynon, J. H. Proc. R. Soc. London, Ser. A 1980, 373, 13–25, and is described by: Rumpf, B. A. Ph.D. Thesis, University of New South Wales, 1985; and Rumpf, B. A.; Derrick, P. J. Int. J. Mass Spectrom. Ion Proc., in press.
