Description: Advances in Mass Spectrometry, Volume 2 documents the proceedings of a conference on mass spectrometry held in Oxford in September 1961. This compilation is categorized into six major topics - mass spectrometry in research; mass spectrometry of inorganic compounds; instruments and techniques; theory and correlation of mass spectra; mass spectra and analysis; and ionization and dissociation. Under these major topics, parts of the papers discussed include field ionization mass spectroscopy; initial kinetic energy discrimination effects in crossed-field ion sources; mass spectrometric study of Ca.
Notes: "Incorporating a bibliography on mass spectrometry covering the period mainly from January, 1958 to December, 1960."

Proceedings of a joint conference held by the American Society for Testing and Materials, Committee E-14, and the Institute of Petroleum, Mass Spectrometry Panel of the Hydrocarbon Research Group.

Includes bibliographical references and indexes.
