Table 2.

Intermediate species identification with EI-MBMS in methylfuran experiments. M: nominal mass, E: electron energy, IP: ionization threshold, h: position of maximum, xmax: peak mole fraction, φ: equivalence ratio. Calibration methods: RICS (of reference species in parenthesis), convolution (of energy distribution and ionization cross section) or direct (cold gas calibration).
