Mass spectroscospy is achieved by analysis of energy vs. time-of-flight tracks. Further detail is available from from Galvin et al, Sp. Sci. Rev. (2008) 136, 437-486. spase://SMWG/Person/Antoinette.B.Galvin PrincipalInvestigator NSSDC's Master Catalog http://nssdc.gsfc.nasa.gov/nmc/masterCatalog.do?sc=2006-047B&ex=4 Information about the Plasma and Supra-Thermal Ion Composition (PLASTIC) Investigation experiment on the STEREO B mission.
