A simple statistical approach for fragmentation studies of doubly ionized cytosine, thymine and uracil bases
Résumé
A simple statistical model describing the dissociation of molecular dications into correlated fragment pairs has been developed. This model is based on a combinatory approach in which all possible fragments are enumerated and is refined by taking into account the initial structure of the parent molecule, considering the number of chemical bonds to be broken to give rise to the fragments. We show how this model can be used as a tool to help interpreting experimental results of coincidence experiments. It shows that dissociation of doubly ionized molecules upon 100 keV proton irradiation is dominated by statistical processes but it also enables an easy identification of the dissociation products originating from non-statistical processes requiring further investigation, possibly conveying information on the radiation-molecule interaction itself.
