Abstract
A new mass spectrograph has been constructed entirely of glass except for the electrodes. Furthermore its design reduces thermal dissociation to a minimum. Using this apparatus the products of ionization in carbon dioxide have been studied. The primary ions are found to be C, C, and appearing at 14.4, 20.4, 19.6 and 28.3 volts respectively. There is also some produced as a secondary product with an ionization potential of 20.0 volts. Except for C minimum values for all the ionization potentials can be calculated and are found to agree within the limits of error with the observed values.
