Delayed extraction

DRAFT DEFINITION
Delayed extraction
The application of the accelerating voltage pulse after a time delay in desorption ionization from a surface. The extraction delay can produce energy focusing in a time-of-flight mass spectrometer.
Considered between 2004 and 2006 but not included in the 2006 PAC submission
