An apparatus is described for studying the photodissociation of neutral free radicals and positive molecular ions with a fast beam technique. Particular attention is given to studies of diatomics whose constituent atoms have very different masses and to photodissociation of polyatomic systems. Novel features of this design include fast neutral beam generation by photodetachment of negative ions, beam energies sufficiently high to detect neutral products, and a beam filter for reducing noise from background processes. A position-sensitive detector provides the data required to determine separation energies and angular distributions for dissociation studies where only one fragment is detectable.
