Abstract

We give a detailed description of an electrospray ion source test bench and a single-pass setup for ion fragmentation studies at the DESIREE infrastructure at Stockholm University. This arrangement allows for collision induced dissociation experiments at center-of-mass energies between 10 eV and 1 keV. Charged fragment are analyzed with respect to their kinetic energies (masses) by means of an electrostatic energy analyzer with a wide angular acceptance and adjustable energy resolution.
