TLDR
The method to transform the singles and coincidence time-of-flight spectra into total kinetic energy distributions, which represent kinetic energy release distributions which clearly exhibit various contributions associated with different dissociation channels are described.
Abstract
The dissociation of ions produced in collisions of ions with CO has been studied by time-of-flight measurements. Both singles and coincidence time-of-flight techniques have been used to determine the kinetic energy release of the dissociating CO molecules. We describe the method to transform the singles and coincidence time-of-flight spectra into total kinetic energy distributions and discuss these distributions. They represent kinetic energy release distributions which clearly exhibit various contributions associated with different dissociation channels. In comparison with other ionization methods similarities but also clear differences are noted.

Fast ion-induced CO molecule fragmentation in the strong interaction regime

TL;DR: In this paper, a coincident time-of-flight technique is used to investigate fast ion-induced CO molecule fragmentation with swift and multicharged heavy ions, and the results concern the strong interaction regime for which no data have yet been reported.

Collisions of with neutral : Charge transfer and fragmentation

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used the measured time-of-flight spectra to determine the kinetic energy release for various fragmentation processes and distinguish between evaporation of neutral molecules from vibrationally excited ions on the one hand and super-asymmetric fission into two charged fragments on the other hand.

Electronic versus vibrational excitation in Heq+ collisions with fullerenes

TL;DR: In this article, the authors studied collisions of Heq+ ions with neutral fullerenes as a function of velocity and charge state (q = 1, 2) and found that the yield of C60−2mr+ clusters decreases with 1/v, as expected for quantities related to direct vibrational excitation.
