Huh?! Mass spec measures mass to charge ratio ... generally has little to do with radiation. If you are talking about nuclear radiation, then I could envision some experiments that might help analyze nuclear decay, since that involves mass changes. However, if you are referring to electromagnetic radiation, then I can't really think of a reason why mass spec would be a helpful analysis tool.
