The ion-induced fragmentation of molecules is a process of fundamental importance in various areas of science ranging from physics and chemistry of upper planetary atmosphere to the understanding of radiation damage in biological tissue. Experiments in which all fragment ions emitted after a particular collision are detected in coincidence can not only provide valuable information about the charge states and potential energy surface of the intermediate multiply-charged molecular ions, but also shed light on the excitation and fragmentation dynamics. The hydrogen molecule is the simplest and the most frequently studied molecular target.
