Abstract:

The report describes the electron capture properties and ensuing fragmentation pattern of 11 chemical agent simulants 1 DMMP 2 DIMP 3 nBM 4 2CLES 5 MS 6 TEP 7 DMP 8 DE3CLMP 9 DECLP 10 DECLMP 11 DECyMP. The electron attachment coefficient and drift velocity of the negative ions were measured by three techniques 1 time of flight mass spectrometry 2 electron swarm with pulse height analysis and 3 electron swarm with pulsed Townsend method.
