We examined the relative ionization and fragmentation probabilities of C60 after excitation by monochromatized synchrotron radiation in the energy range of 18–280 eV. The energy dependence of the relative cross sections of C60q+ (q=1–4) and the associated fragments C60–2nq+ (n=1–6 for q=2,3 and n=1,2 for q=4) are analyzed. We present the ionization and appearance energies for those ions and fragments as well as the partial cross sections for the C60 ions.
