Abstract

An apparatus comprising:an ion trap, for example a 2 dimensional, 2D, ion trap such as a linear quadrupole ion trap, LIT, wherein the ion trap comprises a set of electrodes, for example wherein the 2D ion trap comprises two or more pairs of rod electrodes and optionally two end electrodes;a power supply configured to: generate a substantially rectangular radio frequency, RF, voltage waveform, wherein the RF voltage waveform includes a first set of states including a first state having a first voltage level and a second state having a second voltage level, wherein the first state and the second state are mutually opposed; and apply the generated RF voltage waveform to the set of electrodes, wherein the first set of states provides a trapping field in the ion trap for trapping ions in a trapping region thereof;an electron source, configured to inject electrons into the ion trap for reactions thereof with the ions, for example electron capture dissociation, ECD, hot ECD, electron induced dissociation, EID, and/or electron detachment dissociation, EDD;wherein the RF voltage waveform includes a second set of states including a first state having a first voltage level, wherein the first voltage level of the second set of states is between the first voltage level and the second voltage level of the first set of states; andwherein the electron source is configured to inject the electrons into the ion trap during the second set of states, for example only during the second set of states.
