Notes:
In this paper we show and discuss new results on the dissociation of N2O after core (N 1s) excitation and ionization. We have developed an experimental setup combining an electrostatic electron analyzer with a time-of-flight mass spectrometer without angular discrimination, operated with a strong pulsed extraction field. Taking advantage of the pulsed character of the synchrotron radiation light, we have been able to efficiently remove fortuitous coincidences, without perturbing the electron energy analysis. We relate in detail the experimental setup and show new results obtained on 14N15NO. A selective fragmentation is shown depending on the excited site (central or terminal nitrogen) and the influence of the electronic excited state of the ion on the fragmentation pattern is pointed out. © 1996 American Institute of Physics.
