Abstract

Recent experiments on biomolecules in accelerators and storage rings are reviewed. Topics included are measurements of geometrical cross sections of macromolecular ions, fragmentation of peptide and oligonucleotide ions after collisional electron transfer, lifetimes of excited ions, and radiative cooling. Statistical versus non-statistical decay after excitation in collisions or by photon absorption is discussed.
