The fragmentation of singly and multiply charged 5-bromouracil molecules (C 4 H 3 N 2 O 2 Br) induced by collisions with slow multiply charged ions has been studied. The emission of neutral fragments as well as charge separating decay channels are identified as a function of the projectile charge st...
