An anisotropic product angular distribution has been observed in the dissociative photodetachment of O4- at 523 nm. Energy and angular distributions of coincident O2 products from the process O4- + hv --> O2 + O2 + e- were measured using translational energy spectroscopy in a fast ion beam. The angular distribution peaks perpendicular to the electric vector of the laser beam.
