Abstract
In this chapter, the basic theory behind the most widely used ion traps is given. The traps are divided into two main categories according to the method used in trapping; the Penning traps (i.e., Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance traps) involve magnetic and electrostatic fields, while the Paul traps (two-dimensional linear and three-dimensional quadrupole ion traps) are based on oscillating electric fields. The stability conditions in ion traps, their modes of operation in mass selectivity, and some practical considerations in their design and implementation in photofragmentation experiments are also discussed in this chapter. The chapter closes with a section on cryogenic ion traps, which allow cold spectroscopy experiments, and a general comparison of ion traps employed in photofragmentation experiments.
