Abstract

While previous iterations of laser ablation designs have been attempted at Missouri S\&T, none had the capability to adjust the location of the nozzle in relation to the horn antenna \textit{in situ} without breaking vacuum. This design serves two purposes. The first is to optimize signal strength in real time and the second is to make improvements on spatial and mass efficiency. The source was designed as a prototype for current and future CP-FTMW instruments primarily concerned with studying metal-containing molecules. Aspects of the design as well as the implementation and viability of the source in one of the CP-FTMW instruments will be discussed.
