5. Summary • The absolute cross sections for the various dissociation channels of up to triply ionized molecules have been measured. • Molecules: small alkanes, some heteronuclear polyatomic molecules. • Ionization: electron impact at 200 eV. • Data Processing: two- and three-dimensional covariance mapping. • Information on dissociation dynamics can be retrieved from the covariance maps. New metastable decays have been discovered.
