The elastic scattering in the tandem field mass analyzing systems is considered. The analysis includes deflecting electrostatic and magnetic converging, dispersing, diverging fields, and also the fields of quadrupoles. The influence of slits located on the ion beam path is indicated. An example illustrates the effect of slits on the elastically scattered current distribution in a double focusing mass spectrometer. Another example gives an idea about the influence of the diverging field on the peak tails in mass spectra.

Metastable transitions have been observed in the mass spectra of benzene, hexadeutero-benzene, 1,4-dideuterobenzene and 1,3,5-trideuterobenzene using a double-focusing mass spectrometer. Decomposition maps have been obtained for each substance and decomposition reactions leading to the production of all significant fragment ions have been suggested. Metastable transitions of several doubly-charged species were found. Loss if identity by the H and D atoms of the partly-deuterated benzenes was observed in metastable transitions in their mass spectra, indicating that rapid isomerization occurs before fragmentation.

A study of the abundances of certain metastable peaks formed by the de- composition of ions in the first and second field-free regions of a double-focusing mass spectrometer has shown that the M-1 ions (m/e 165) in the mass spectra of fluorene and phenalene have different structures. Correlations based on these structures have been obtained for C13H9+ species formed from different systems.
