Abstract
The following document is the latest revision of Standard Definitions of Terms Relating to Mass Spectrometry. The present version was begun by merging the last ASMS Committee on Nomenclature list published in 1984 (San Antonio) Bound Volume with the IUPAC Working Document on Mass Spectrometry Nomenclature, from 1987 and 1985. Duplications were removed, terms added, and a few updated. This compilation was circulated for editorial comment at the 1987 ASMS Conference in Denver, and reviewed further at the 1988 meeting in San Francisco. During 1988-1989, as a result of a Spectaker article, about 70 ASMS members requested (and were supplied) copies of the draft definitions. A few comments were received, and most were incorporated into the document. During 1989-1990, Rodger Foltz, Chairman of the ASMS Measurements and Standards Committee, circulated copies to a select group of spectroscopists and requested that each review a specific section. Their additional comments were incorporated into the present document. Over 100 members of ASMS have assisted with these definitions by reading, editing, and supplying new definitions. Particularly detailed and extensive suggestions from Bill Budde, Ken Busch, Doug Cameron, Hank Fales, Rodger Foltz, Keith Jennings, Richard Martinez, John Todd, and J. Throck Watson were very helpful and are appreciated.
