Performance of the NGX High-resolution Multiple Collector Noble Gas Mass Spectrometer

A newly designed mass spectrometer analytical system is assessed for its performance in determining noble gas isotopes. A significant feature of this system is the simultaneous collection of beams for all nine Xe isotopes using low-noise, high-sensitivity Faraday collectors, which improves overall precision by enabling shorter analytical times. The measurements’ stability, sensitivity, and reproducibility using this new noble gas analytical system were examined by repeating runs of atmospheric air.
