Dissociative Ionization of H₂ by Fast Protons: Three-Body Break-Up and Molecular-Frame Electron Emission
Abstract
Highly differential cross sections have been obtained for dissociative single ionization of H2 by 6 MeV proton impact by measuring the momentum vectors of the electron and the H+ fragment in coincidence. The investigation of the momentum balance of the fragments along the projectile beam provided detailed insight into the four-particle dynamics, even though the H atom is not detected. Within the axial recoil approximation, molecular-frame angular distributions of emitted electrons have been determined for molecules oriented perpendicular to the projectile beam. They are compared with the predictions of a CDW-EIS calculation.
