A novel instrument which combines high-resolution doublefocusing mass spectrometry with time-of-flight detection was applied to the study of cluster ion photofragmentation. Using this apparatus, kinetic energy measurements were made on neutral photofragments following the excitation of Ar:, at 532 n

Mass and kinetic energy resolved Ar: ions have been photodissociated at 532 nm in the entrance to a 2 m time-of-flight device. Subsequent deflection of all the ions allows for time resolved measurements to be undertaken on the neutral photofragments. As a function of the angle of laser polarisation, it is shown that the results are consistent with previous observations on the ion photofragment, Ar+. Additional information on the photodissociation process is extracted by making use ofthe fact that features in the observed velocity spectra must correlate with an integer number of neutral particles.
