Estimation of the Spatial Extent of the Transient Gain Drop in a Microchannel Plate
Hiroshi Kobayashi , Toshinobu Hondo, Yasuo Kanematsu, Motohiro Suyama, Michisato Toyoda
The gain of the microchannel plate temporally drops after an ion initiates an electron avalanche. Electron multiplication was expected to deplete the charge from the microchannel wall and produce the depleted charge (wall charge).

Effect of Phosphorylation on the Collision Cross Sections of Peptide Ions in Ion Mobility Spectrometry
Kosuke Ogata, Chih-Hsiang Chang, Yasushi Ishihama
The insertion of ion mobility spectrometry (IMS) between LC and MS can improve peptide identification in both proteomics and phosphoproteomics by providing structural information that is complementary to LC and MS, because IMS
