Abstract

We describe an apparatus for performing three types of coincidence experiment to study state-selected photofragmentation of polyatomic ions in the gas phase; threshold photoelectron–photoion coincidences (TPEPICO), photoion–fluorescence coincidences (PIFCO), and threshold photoelectron–fluorescence coincidences (TPEFCO). Photoionisation in the vacuum-UV, 10–25 eV, is obtained using tunable radiation from the Daresbury, UK Synchrotron Radiation Source. Examples are taken from published work in CF4+, PCl3+ and PBr3+, and a range of perfluorocarbon cations CxFy+.
