Shrnutí:The development of the phase-imaging ion-cyclotron resonance (PI-ICR) technique for use in Penning trap mass spectrometry (PTMS) increased the speed and precision with which PTMS experiments can be carried out. In PI-ICR, data sets of the locations of individual ion hits on a detector are created showing how ions cluster together into spots according to their cyclotron frequency. Ideal data sets would consist of a single, 2D-spherical spot with no other noise, but in practice data sets typically contain multiple spots, non-spherical spots, or significant noise, all of which can make determining the locations of spot centers non-trivial. A method for assigning groups of ions to their respective spots and determining the spot centers is therefore essential for further improving precision and confidence in PI-ICR experiments. We present the class of Gaussian mixture model (GMM) clustering algorithms as an optimal solution. We show that on simulated PI-ICR data, several types of GMM clustering algorithms perform better than other clustering algorithms over a variety of typical scenarios encountered in PI-ICR. The mass spectra of 163Gd, 163mGd, 162Tb, and 162mTb measured using PI-ICR at the Canadian Penning trap mass spectrometer were checked using GMMs, producing results that were in close agreement with the previously published values.
