Theory and Physics of Mass Spectrometry
This course will cover the fundamental physical principles that are used in mass spectroscopy, with a primary focus on basic electricity and magnetism theory. This course will not be calculus based.
Prerequisite: Enrollment in CAMS-MS program.
Outcomes: At the end of this course students will be able to: 1) Describe the fundamental principles of Newton's Laws and Conservation of Energy; 2) Describe basic interactions between charged particles and electric fields; 3) Define electric potentials; 4) Describe the relationship between electric and magnetic fields; 5) Identify the direction a charged particle will move in a magnetic field; and 6) Derive the relationship between charge, mass and velocity.
