Abstract

Energy released to daughter ions from collision-induced dissociation of high energy (≈ keV) CH4+, CH3NO2+ and CS2+ is measured. Fragmentation mechanics are developed to enable calculation of the angular distribution of fragments due to energy released. Subsequent plots of fragment-ion relative abundance vs. laboratory angle fit published experimental data, even though collisional scatter is presumed negligible.
