Abstract
The fragmentation dynamics of the CO2q+ (q = 2, 3) molecular ions formed under the impact of 1 MeV protons is studied using a recoil ion momentum spectrometer equipped with a multi-hit time- and position-sensitive detector. Both two-body and three-body fragmentation channels arising from the doubly and triply ionized molecular ions of CO2 are identified and analyzed. Kinetic energy release (KER) distributions have been obtained for various channels. With the help of Dalitz plots and Newton diagrams concerted and sequential processes have been assigned to observed fragmentation channels. In addition, angular correlations are used to determine the molecular geometry of the precursor molecular ion. It is found that the symmetric breakup into C+ + O+ + O+ involves asymmetric stretching of the molecular bonds in CO23+ prior to dissociation via concerted decay implying the fact that collisions with 1 MeV proton induces an asynchronous decay in CO2.

期刊介绍：
Atoms (ISSN 2218-2004) is an international and cross-disciplinary scholarly journal of scientific studies related to all aspects of the atom. It publishes reviews, regular research papers, and communications; there is no restriction on the length of the papers. Our aim is to encourage scientists to publish their experimental and theoretical research in as much detail as possible. Full experimental and/or methodical details must be provided for research articles. There are, in addition, unique features of this journal: -manuscripts regarding research proposals and research ideas will be particularly welcomed. -computed data, program listings, and files regarding the full details of the experimental procedure, if unable to be published in a normal way, can be deposited as supplementary material. Scopes: -experimental and theoretical atomic, molecular, and nuclear physics, chemical physics -the study of atoms, molecules, nuclei and their interactions and constituents (protons, neutrons, and electrons) -quantum theory, applications and foundations -microparticles, clusters -exotic systems (muons, quarks, anti-matter) -atomic, molecular, and nuclear spectroscopy and collisions -nuclear energy (fusion and fission), radioactive decay -nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and electron spin resonance (ESR), hyperfine interactions -orbitals, valence and bonding behavior -atomic and molecular properties (energy levels, radiative properties, magnetic moments, collisional data) and photon interactions
