在分析和曲面的一般领域， 化学，侧重于研究碰撞诱导解离 多原子离子。 这项工作有望使我们的生活 对这些过程的理解， 在未来商业质谱仪设计中的作用。 将对若干问题进行系统研究， 多原子离子，即烯醇C3H6O离子，金属羰基离子， 芳香族离子和碳氟离子。 电子的作用 在碰撞激活之前和之后的激发将是 为了了解这一现象的机制， 碰撞诱导解离过程 实验将 在一个独特的工具，特别适合这些 问题研究

The research, in the general area of Analytical and Surface Chemistry, focuses on studies of collision-induced dissociation of polyatomic ions. The work promises to lead to a much better understanding of such processes which may play an important role in the future design of commercial mass spectrometers. A systematic study will be carried out of a number of polyatomic ions, namely enolic C3H6O ions, metal carbonyl ions, aromatic ions and fluorocarbon ions. The role of electronic excitation prior to and after collisional activation will be examined with a view to understanding the mechanism of the collision-induced dissociation process. Experiments will be performed in a unique instrument specially adapted to these studies.
