State-selected electron capture by molecular ions: collisions of CS22+and CS23+with monatomic and diatomic targets

Abstract
High resolution translation energy change spectra of product ions of electron capture collisions of CS22+ and CS23+ with rare-gas atoms and diatomic molecules, H2, N2 and O2, have been measured using a modified, reversed geometry, double focusing mass spectrometer. Electron capture occurs selectively into the ground electronic state except in the case of CS23+ collisions with Xe and O2. In the former case significant target excitation occurs whereas in the latter case the predominant reaction result is dissociative electron capture.
