'''peak (in mass spectrometry)'''
Localized region of relatively intense ion signal in a mass spectrum.
Note: Although peaks are often associated with particular ions, the terms peak and ion should not be used interchangeably.
Note:  Care should be used to distinguish mass spectral peaks from chromatographic peaks in GC/MS and LC/MS.
