Abstract

In this paper, we present methods to determine multipole coefficients for describing the potential in toroidal ion trap mass analysers. Three different methods have been presented to compute the toroidal multipole coefficients. The first method uses at least square fit (LS) and is useful when we have ability to compute potential at a set of points in the trapping region. In the second method we use the Discrete Fourier Transform (DFT) of potentials on a circle in the trapping region. The third method uses surface charge distribution obtained from the Boundary Element Method (BEM) to compute these coefficients. Using these multipole coefficients we have presented (1) equations of ion motion in toroidal ion traps, (2) the Mathieu parameters in terms of multipole coefficients and (3) the secular frequency of ion motion in these traps. It has been shown that the secular frequency obtained from our method has a good match with that obtained from numerical trajectory simulation. (C) 2016 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
