The tunneling dissociation of ro-vibrationally excited Ag2− and Co2− was studied for up to 1000 s in the Cryogenic Storage Ring (CSR) [1] at the MPIK. The cryogenic environment below 6 K leads to a residual gas pressure of less than 10−14 mbar (room-temperature equivalent)- ideal conditions for background-free gas-phase spectroscopy. The anions were produced in a metal-ion sputter source, accelerated up to 60 keV and stored in the CSR. The neutral and charged fragments of the reaction X2*− → X + X− were recorded by micro-channel-plate based detectors [2].The data include coincidence signals from autodissociation of the anions as function of the storage time. The observed non-exponential nature of the decay will be discussed.
