In this project in the Physical Chemistry Program of the                        Chemistry Division, Dunbar will study the photodissociation                     spectroscopy of polyatomic gas-phase ions by visible and                        ultraviolet light in a mass spectrometer. This research will                    lead to information concerning the photochemistry and                           photophysics of ions in the absence of solvation effects.                                                                                                       The exceptional capabilities of the Ion Cyclotron Resonance                     trap with Fourier transform detection will be exploited to trap                 and detect ions. Several laser sources, including a system with                 high single-pulse energy, will be used to carry out                             single-pulse, multiple-pulse and continuous-irradiation                         experiments at a variety of wavelengths. The rate of                            dissociation following the laser pulse; the kinetic energies of                 the fragment ions; and the competition between different                        fragment channels will be studied.
