Description

The photofragmentation of free thymidine molecule has been studied using combined electron- and ion spectroscopy. The results show that valence- and core ionization processes produce very different fragmentation patterns and that regardless of the photon energy, the photoionization leads almost always to dissociation of the thymidine molecule.
