Abstract
Several processes of CID of polyatomic ions in the low (a few eV) collision energy region were investigated in a beam scattering experiment. The systems studied were CH 4 + + He (formation of CH 3 +) and C 3H 8 + + Ne (formation of C 2H 4 + and C 2H 5 +). The results show that the most probable amount of energy which is inelastically transferred to the projectile ions depends linearly on the CM scattering angle (0° to 90°) and on the initial collision energy. The dynamics of CID at these collision energies is consistent with a vibrational energy transfer in which the interaction involves the polyatomic ion as a whole as described by statistical models.
