Virtual Workshop 2025 - Data Management: From Instrument to First Storage - Day 1 - Conducting the Quartet with David Butcher, National High Magnetic Field Laboratory (MagLab)

Conducting the Quartet: synchronizing data streams in a custom-built mass spectrometer with four mass analyzers

By David Butcher, National High Magnetic Field Laboratory (MagLab)

The Ion Cyclotron Resonance (ICR) facility of the National High Magnetic Field Laboratory (MagLab) is home to the highest-performing ICR mass spectrometers in the world. Recently, the flagship 21 tesla instrument was upgraded with a new front end containing an additional mass analyzer, enabling higher performance and new experimental workflows. This presentation will discuss the handling of data streams in this hybrid instrument, including the difficulties of integrating a commercial front-end system with a custom-built ultrahigh field ICR mass spectrometer.

NSF CI Compass hosted the U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF) CI Compass virtual workshop "Data Management: From Instrument to First Storage" from January 22-24, 2025.
