C. Brink et al., COINCIDENCE STUDIES OF COLLISIONALLY INDUCED FISSION OF C-60(2+), Zeitschrift fur Physik. D, Atoms, molecules and clusters, 29(1), 1994, pp. 45-48
A direct measurement of collisionally induced fission of C-60(2+) has
been performed. We have measured coincidences between various charged
fragments resulting from collisions between C-60(2+) and He atoms. The
measurements show that C-60(2+) not only emits C2 units but also brea
ks up into larger, singly charged parts. In this paper, we report on c
oincidences between C(n)+ (2 less-than-or-equal-to n less-than-or-equa
l-to 9) and C(m)+ (42 less-than-or-equal-to m less-than-or-equal-to 48
) fragment ions.
