Abstract
An ion source is described in which molecules having an ionization potential less than 11.8 eV are selectively photoionized. It is shown that this method considerably improves the air contaminant detection limit of a standard quadrupole mass spectrometer and has great potential in the analysis of complex mixtures of trace gases.
