Abstract
Three-body dynamics are investigated for single ionization of hydrogen by 50 and 100 eV positron impact. The momentum distributions of the electron, the projectile and the recoiling target nucleus are investigated. The present results show that, despite the large mass of the target nucleus, it actively participates in the dynamics of the ionizing collisions. In particular, a strong correlation between the positron and the recoil-ion momenta is found, which is especially important at the lower collision energy of this study.
