    Distance-of-flight mass spectrometry (DOF-MS) has not yet been implemented, though it has many potential advantages in a variety of applications. Impeding the implementation of DOF-MS is the development of the required array detectors and working out the equivalents to the focusing methods now used in time-of-flight (TOF) mass analyzers. Ideally, a batch of ions composed of a variety of m/z values, despite initial distributions of space and energy, would be spatially focused at their respective flight distances at the same time. First-order energy focusing, including ion turnaround, is shown to be accomplished by the use of an ion mirror in conjunction with constant momentum acceleration of the initial ion packet. The initial spatial dispersion is maintained throughout the flight path. With zero initial spatial ion spread, energy focusing to achieve resolutions in the tens of thousands is shown to be feasible with ions from the elemental and isotope ratio mass regions through the extremely high m/z range. With moderate spatial spread taken into account, the DOF-MS approach is shown to achieve resolutions competitive with quadrupole and ion trap mass analyzers. Advantages of DOF-MS include all the advantages of TOF-MS plus simpler detector electronics and the improved signal-to-noise ratio and dynamic range afforded by array detection.
