When the molecular ions XYZ+ (XY2+) are excited simultaneously from an electronic state E0 into two higher electronic states Ea and EZ with supervened dissociation or predisso- ciation, competition between the α and β excitation-dissociation channels occurs. A the- oretical model is provided to deal with the competition of the two excitation-dissociation channels with more than two kinds of ionic products for XYZ+ (XY2+). Supposing that the photo-excitation rates of two states Eα and Eβ are much less than their dissociation or pre-dissociation rates, a theoretical equation can be deduced to fit the measured data, which reflects the dependence of the product branching ratios on the intensity ratios of two excitation lasers. From the fitted parameters the excitation cross section ratios are obtained. In experiment, we studied the competition between two excitation-dissociation channels of CO^2+. By measuring the dependence of the product branching ratio on the intensity ratio of two dissociation lasers and fitting the experiment data with the theoretical equation, excitation cross section ratios were deduced.
The TOF-mass spectra of CS2+、CS+、 and C+ ions were obtained by the methodof REMPI. The mechanism of the production of these ions was discussed according to the mass spectra. The structures observed from the mass spectrum were assigned.
