Fundamental research relating to new laser systems
Abstract
A new tandem Quadrupole mass spectrometer, developed explicitly for photodissociation experiments on both positive and negative ions, is described. This unique instrument employs crossed-beam techniques to achieve high sensitivity and precise specification of the observed photodissociation of photodissociation cross sections as a function of wavelength for ions of aeronomic importance or of potential importance in the development of new laser systems. Results are given for CO3 minus, CO4 minus, O2 plus, O3 plus, O4 plus, O2 minus, O3 minus, Ne2 plus, Ar2 plus, and (CO2)2 plus,
