Abstract: The statistical distribution of mass peak centroids recorded on mass spectrometers employing analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) and electron multipliers is derived from the first principles of the data generation process. The resulting Gaussian model is discussed and is validated with experimental data and with Monte Carlo simulations.
