Design and Integration of the 21 Tesla (T) Magnet

该奖项来自化学部门，支持离子光学仪器和傅立叶变换离子回旋共振质谱仪（FTICR-MS）分析工具的开发，该仪器将在前所未有的21特斯拉(T)磁场强度下工作。Alan Marshall博士和他在国家高磁场实验室的团队将开发离子源、离子传输、离子外部积累、ICR激发、检测、自动仪器控制和数据简化等先进技术。这些领域的设计方面将得到大型超级计算机模拟（大于一百万离子）的支持。这项工作不仅将推动21 T FTICR-MS技术的发展，而且将推动质谱科学的发展。除了推进质谱科学之外，该项目还将在石油组学、自上而下的蛋白质组学以及大分子复合物的结构和行为表征等领域产生直接和开创性的影响。

This award from the Division of Chemistry supports the development of the ion optics instrumentation and the analysis tools for a Fourier Transform Ion Cyclotron Resonance Mass Spectrometer (FTICR-MS) which will operate at the unprecedented magnetic field strength of 21 Tesla (T). Dr. Alan Marshall and his team at the National High Magnetic Field Laboratory will develop advanced technologies for ion sources, ion transmission, ion external accumulation, ICR excitation, detection, and automatic instrument control and data reduction. The design aspects in these areas will be supported by large scale supercomputer simulation (greater than one million ions). This work will not only advance 21 T FTICR-MS technology, but mass spectrometry science in general.In addition to advancing mass spectrometry science, this project will also have direct and groundbreaking implications in the fields of petroleomics, top-down proteomics, and in the characterization of the structure and behavior of macromolecular complexes.
