The current terminology is chiefly defined by three authoritative publications i) a compilation by Price under the guidance of the American Society for Mass Spectrometry (ASMS), [25] ii) one by Todd representing the official recommendations of the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (lUPAC), [26] and iii) one by Sparkman trying to bring the preceding and sometimes contradictory ones together. [27] lUPAC, for example, stays in opposition to the vast ma-...

For excellent perspectives on the historical developments in MS, readers are directed to several outstanding books and reviews, including the American Society for Mass Spectrometry s 50th anniversary book (Grayson, 2002). Similar to any other field, the field of MS is laced with several Nobel laureates, including the father of modern MS, J. J. Thomson ...
