Abstract
An ion detector (24) comprises a conversion dynode (241), a secondary electron multiplier tube (242), and a DC voltage application unit (243) that applies a DC voltage between the conversion dynode (241) and the secondary electron multiplier tube (242). A part or all of a surface of the conversion dynode (241), including an ion collision surface (2410) where ions collide, is made of a substance containing one or more elements selected from the group consisting of titanium, vanadium, and chromium at a higher density than iron and aluminum.
