Synopsis The dynamics of the dissociation of multiply charged ammonia ions is investigated. The pathways for sequential and concerted dissociation are separated, and the kinetic energy released along the different pathways is measured. The measured values are compared with ab-initio quantum chemical calculations to identify the repulsive states of the molecular ion which are responsible for the two pathways.
