Abstract
In our proposed instrument, sample ions are continuously injected into a small racetrack-shaped ring where they are stored for several orbits as the undesired species are removed.1 This multistaged separation technique has three elements (see Fig. 1). First, the ions are mass separated by two 180° bending magnets. After this first stage of enrichment the ions are neutralized in a charge exchange cell. The beam is then reionized by a laser before it passes back into the magnets for the second time to be further concentrated. After the desired degree of enrichment is attained, the ions are directed to a particle multiplier.
