The ability to distinguish between ions differing in the quotient mass/charge by a small increment. It may be characterized by giving the peak width, measured in mass units, expressed as a function of mass, for at least two points on the peak, specifically for 50% and for 5% of the maximum peak height. |

Reference:Marshall 2002 gives the following definitions:
- Mass peak width (Δm50%)
- Full width of mass spectral peak at half-maximum peak height
- Mass resolving power (m/Δm50%)
- A well-isolated single mass spectral peak
- Mass resolution (m2 ?????????????????????????? m1 in Da, or (m2 ?????????????????????????? m1)/m1 in ppm)
- The smallest mass difference between equal magnitude peaks such that the valley between them is a specified fraction of either peak height
- Mass precision
- Root-mean-square deviation in a large number of repeated measurements
- Mass accuracy
- Difference between measured and actual mass
- Mass defect
- Difference between exact and nominal mass
