Abstract

A beam of mass selected SF +5 ions is crossed with a pulsed CO2 laser beam. The distribution of lifetimes of infrared multiple-photon pumped SF +5 ion-molecules prior to dissociation into SF +4 +F has been measured directly using a time-of-flight ion-beam technique. The data provide new information on the distribution of the total internal energy of molecules excited by absorption of infrared radiation.
