Mass spectrometry (MS) is widely regarded as the most sensitive and specific general
purpose analytical technique. More than a century has passed for MS since the ground …

The photon-ion merged-beams technique for the photoionisation of mass/charge selected
ionised atoms, molecules and clusters by x-rays from synchrotron radiation sources is …

We describe an experimental method to probe the adsorption of water at the surface of
isolated, substrate-free TiO2 nanoparticles (NPs) based on soft X-ray spectroscopy in the …

We publish three Roadmaps on photonic, electronic and atomic collision physics in order to
celebrate the 60th anniversary of the ICPEAC conference. In Roadmap I, we focus on the …

We have investigated the response of superhydrogenated gas-phase coronene cations
upon soft x-ray absorption. Carbon (1 s)⟶ π⋆ transitions were resonantly excited at h ν= 285 …

Multiply protonated peptides and proteins in the gas phase can respond to near edge X-ray
absorption in three different ways:(i) non dissociative ionization and ionization accompanied …

Site-selective dissociation induced by core photoexcitation of biomolecules is of key
importance for the understanding of radiation damage processes and dynamics and for its …

In this review, recent progress in understanding the direct effects of radiation on the structure
and stability of collagen, the most abundant protein in the human body, and other proteins is …

We have studied the dissociation of the gas-phase protonated peptide leucine enkephalin
[YGGFL+ H]+ upon X-ray absorption in the region of the C K-edge. The yield of …

Preservation of protein conformation upon transfer into the gas phase is key for structure
determination of free single molecules, for example using X‐ray free‐electron lasers. In the …
