  1. Peak values of (θcm-KER) for the four dominant components from the fit of the measurements. The fitting errors are given. These values are assigned to the CE along either the quartet or doublet states of the trication (Tri.), and these components are ionised from the X and A states of the cation (Ca.). The simulated peak values of (θcm-KER) are also shown for each channel.
