We have investigated the total relative ionization and dissociative electron capture cross section for proton collisions with CO within the energy range of 2 keV to 10 keV. Time of flight mass spectroscopy was employed in the measurements of CO+, O+ and C+ and the contribution of the different channels was evaluated. Ionization was found to be the dominant reaction channel as expected, while the C+ ionic fragments intensity was found to be higher than those of O+.
