Quadrupole ICP-MS [inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry] is currently the method of choice for laser-ablation applications since sector-field instruments are generally considered too slow for the acquisition of rapidly varying signals. However, the new generation of double-focusing sector-field mass spectrometers is capable of rapidly scanning the mass spectrum both magnetically and electrostatically, and the combination of these two scan modes approaches the performance of quadrupoles for most practical applications. ... The capability of the adopted configuration to furnish high-quality in situ trace-element analysis of minerals and U-Pb geochronological data is described. 2, record 1, English, - sector%20field%20mass%20spectrometer

Les appareils ICP-MS [inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry] munis d’un quadrupole sont préférés de nos jours dans les applications faisant appel à l'ablation au laser(LA), parce que les appareils à secteurs partagés sont généralement considérés trop lents dans l'acquisition de signaux qui varient rapidement. Toutefois, avec la nouvelle génération de spectromètres de masse à secteurs partagés et à double foyer, nous sommes capables de balayer rapidement le spectre des masses à la fois selon les propriétés magnétiques et électrostatiques. La combinaison des deux modes de balayage se rapproche des quadrupoles en performance dans la plupart des applications pratiques. [...] Nous documentons la capacité du système configuré ainsi à effectuer des analyses de minéraux in situ de haute qualité pour les éléments traces, y compris pour les applications géochronologiques utilisant le système U-Pb. 3, record 1, French, - spectrom%C3%A8tre%20de%20masse%20%C3%A0%20secteur%20magn%C3%A9tique

Electron machines, such as the Radio Dynamics Inc. Dynamitron, produce a beam of high energy electrons, which are magnetically scanned and diffused in a so-called scan horn. Since these electrons do not have the penetrating power of gamma radiation, the material to be treated must be passed in front of the horn in a thin layer, not more than 0.4 to 1.26 centimetres thick. These machines have a throughput of 200 to 400 tonnes per hour, which compares to handling rates of a commercial elevator. 1, record 4, English, - scan%20horn

Etant donné que ces électrons ne pénètrent pas dans la masse avec autant d’efficacité que les rayons gamma, il faut faire passer le grain à traiter devant le cône en couches minces, pas plus de 0, 4 à 1, 26 centimètre d’épaisseur. Ces machines ont un débit de 200 à 400 tonnes l'heure, ce qui est comparable à la capacité de manutention d’un silo commercial. 1, record 4, French, - c%C3%B4ne%20%C3%A0%20balayage%20constant
