High-resolution MS on aggregates and what it can see
The practical version of high-resolution is three sentences long. The rigorous version is three pages and reaches the same conclusion with the conditions attached.
On high-resolution: the maintained page in the documentation commons covers the general case with citations and a review date, which is more reliable than any reply here including this one.
Picking up post #48: that is the part I would want checked first.
The honest summary of what a mass result buys you: it narrows the field of what the material could be, considerably. It never closes it, and no certificate should be read as though it had.
The variance between people here is larger than the effect being discussed.
High-resolution is worth one more sentence than it usually gets, and the sentence is the one about how the number was arrived at.
My position on high-resolution is current rather than settled. I have revised it once already and I expect to again, so treat it accordingly.
The most useful reply I ever got about high-resolution was a request to state my units. It sounds like pedantry and it has saved me twice.
Practical experience of high-resolution, offered as one case with the conditions stated, not as a general finding. Conditions first, because they are what make it interpretable.
