Abstract
The dissociation of a molecule into neutral products plays an important role in astrophysics and plasma physics. In the case of larger molecules, dissociation into three or more massive fragments may constitute a major decay pathway [1–5]. Experiments to understand such processes in full detail constitute a substantial experimental challenge. The parent molecule has to be prepared in a quantum—mechanically well-characterized initial state. All fragments have to be detected in coincidence and a kinematically complete analysis of the final state has to be achieved.
