-{{DefName|A method for selective ejection of ions according to their ''[[m/z]]'' value in an ion trap. }}
+{{Def2|
+A phenomenon observed in a [[Paul ion trap]] whereby an appropriate combination of oscillating electric fields applied to the body and the end-caps of the trap leads to unstable trajectories for ions within a particular range of ''[[m/z]]'' values and thus to their loss from the trap.
