Mass Spectrometer#

Mass spectrometers infer mass‑to‑charge ratios via ion motion. Their operation is powerful but inference‑heavy and substrate‑sensitive.

Dimensional Core (SET)#

• Spin: ion trajectories
• Elec: fields and detectors
• Temp: affects vacuum stability

Why Yellow‑Zone#

Mass spectrometry relies on multi‑stage inference and strict environmental control.

Regime Notes#

• pos‑regime: stable vacuum, clean samples
• Q‑regime: mixed species, partial ionization
• neg‑regime: contamination, unstable fields

Alignment Notes#

Needs explicit notes on inference layers and vacuum stability.
