Protonation-Induced Chemical Transformations in Mass Spectrometry: Implications for Detecting Complex Organics on Icy Moons
{{output}}
Impact ionization mass spectrometers, such as Cassini's Cosmic Dust Analyzer, are capable of detecting macromolecular organic compounds in ice grains ejected from icy moons such as Enceladus and Europa. The identification of their chemical features relies on ... ...
