Fully differential molecular-frame electron impact ionization measurements

Abstract

(e,2e) measurements in the molecular frame using a new spectrometer are described. This work requires a triple coincidence experiment in which (e,2e+ion) events are detected. Preliminary results are presented for a nitrogen target, which illustrate the performance of the apparatus. The nitrogen data clearly shows that the (e,2e) cross section depends sensitively on the orientation of the molecule relative to the incident direction. Show more
