The photon induced fragmentation behavior of the cations of three dibenzopyrene (C24H14) isomers (DBPae, DBPah and DBPal) is studied in a series of systematic mass spectrometric experiments. The ions are collected in an ion trap system and irradiated with different numbers of photons before being re...
