      Absolute cross sections for electron impact dissociative excitation and ionization of CD+ leading to the formation of ionic products (D+, C+, C2+ and C3+) are reported in the energy range from their respective thresholds to 2.5 keV. Around the maximum, cross sections are found to be (10.5 ± 1.0) × 10−17 cm2, (20.6 ± 3.5) × 10−17 cm2, (1.20 ± 0.11) × 10−17 cm2 and (8.2 ± 1.5) × 10−20 cm2 for D+, C+, ...

      Absolute cross sections for electron impact ionization of CO+ leading to the formation of doubly and triply charged products (CO2+, C2+ and O2+, C3+ and O3+) are reported in the energy range from their respective thresholds to 2500 eV. Around the maximum, cross section values are found to be (13.36 ± 0.56) × 10−18 cm2, (5.58 ± 0.55) × 10−18 cm2 and (1.37 ± 0.14) × 10−18 cm2 for CO2+, C2+ and O2+, ...
    • Mass Spectrometric Investigation of Anions Formed upon Free Electron Attachment to Nucleobase Molecules and Clusters Embedded in Superfluid Helium DropletsPeer reviewedClosed access

      Article scientifique
      Here we report the first mass spectrometric study of negative ions formed via free electron attachment (EA) to nucleobases (NBs) embedded in helium clusters. Pure and mixed clusters of adenine and thymine have been formed by pickup of isolated NB molecules by cold helium droplets. In contrast to EA of isolated molecules in the gas phase we observe a long-lived parent anion NB− and, in addition, ...
