N2O is bombarded with 1 MeV H+, He+, and O+ projectiles. The dissociation fragments observed are N+, O+, NO+, N2+, N2+, and O2+. Kinetic energy spectra of singly ionized fragments obtained using a time-energy spectroscopy TES technique are reported. The relative intensities and the absolute yields of these fragments are dependent on the type of projectile which is used to bombard the target gas. Bombardment with O+ projectiles produces the most absolute yield and enhances the yield of 5 to 10 eV fragments relative to the yield of 0 to 5 eV fragments. These spectra are interpreted and a comparison is made to electron impact and photoionization studies of N2O by other groups. This study indicates that the dissociation channels N2O2+→NO+ + N+ and N2O2+→ N2+ +O+ are probable major contributors to the yields of NO+ and N2+. In addition, the O+ and N+ spectra exhibit high energy tails which may be attributed to multibody break up.
