Abstract
The velocity component effect to the mass resolution was considered for two different positions of beam source in the time-of-flight mass spectrometer based on de Heer and Milani criteria. The results estimated for various potassium cluster sizes showed that resolution is reduced at considerable level and the cluster range is limited to the small mass sizes for the position along with the cluster beam axis. The resolution is high and the effect appears close to K1000 cluster sizes depending upon perpendicular axis used.
