Abstract: A multi-hit, position-sensitive, time-of-flight measurement system using a two-dimensional position sensitive detector, which consists of a microchannel plate and a modified-backgammon-weighed-capacitor (MBWC) anode, was constructed for the study of dissociative ionization of highly-charged molecular ions produced in collisions of molecules with highly charged ions. The multi-hit capability of the detector enables event-by-event analysis. With the aid of multi-fold coincidence techniques, studies of the Coulomb explosion of multiply ionized triatomic molecules have been carried out by measuring the velocity components of all three ionic fragments produced in the fragmentation process.
