Detection of neutral metastable fragments from collisions with nucleobases
Abstract
We report on two collision experiments performed on nucleobases, (i) using electron impact on nucleobases in the gas phase, and (ii) using low-energy ion impact of small nucleobase clusters. In both experiments mass-resolved positive ions were detected using time-of-flight mass spectrometers, and neutral metastable fragments were detected, also using a time-of-flight technique.
