Two-particle interference of electron pairs on a molecular level
M. Waitz, D. Metz, J. Lower +19
We investigate the photo-doubleionization of molecules with 400 eV photons. We find that the emitted electrons do not show any sign of two-center interference fringes in thei…
Vibrationally Resolved Decay Width of Interatomic Coulombic Decay in HeNe
F. Trinter, J. B. Williams, M. Weller +17
We investigate the ionization of HeNe from below the He 1s3p excitation to the He ionization threshold. We observe HeNe ions with an enhancement by more than a factor of 60 whe…
Photon-momentum-induced molecular dynamics in photoionization of N at keV
M. Kircher, J. Rist, F. Trinter +16
We investigate K-shell ionization of N at 40 keV photon energy. Using a COLTRIMS reaction microscope we determine the vector momenta of the photoelectron, the Auger electron an…
Direct observation of interatomic Coulombic decay and subsequent ion-atom scattering in helium nanodroplets
F. Wiegandt, F. Trinter, K. Henrichs +13
We report on the experimental observation of interatomic Coulombic decay (ICD) in pure He nanoclusters of mean sizes between 5000 and 30000 and the subsequent scatt…
Determination of the He-He, Ne-Ne, Ar-Ar, and H interaction potential by wave function imaging
S. Zeller, M. Kunitski, J. Voigtsberger +10
We report on a direct method to measure the internuclear potential energy curve of diatomic systems. A COLTRIMS reaction microscope was used to measure the squares of the vibration…
Search for isotope effects in projectile and target ionization in swift He on H or D collisions

Using the cold target recoil ion momentum spectroscopy (COLTRIMS) technique, we have measured the simultaneous projectile and target ionization in collisions of He projectiles…
Ion and Electron Momentum Distributions from Single and Double Ionization of Helium Induced by Compton Scattering
M. Kircher, F. Trinter, S. Grundmann +18
We present the momentum distributions of the nucleus and of the electrons from double ionization of the helium atom by Compton scattering of photons with keV. We find that…
Agreement at last: an experimental and theoretical study on the single ionization of helium by fast proton impact
H. Gassert, O. Chuluunbaatar, M. Waitz +20
Even though ion/atom-collision is a mature field of atomic physics great discrepancies between experiment and theoretical calculations are still common. Here we present experimenta…
Ejection of quasi-free electron pairs from the helium atom ground state by single photon absorption
M. S. Schöffler, C. Stuck, M. Waitz +14
We investigate single photon double ionization (PDI) of helium at photon energies of 440 and 800 eV. We observe doubly charged ions with close to zero momentum corresponding to ele…
Frustrated Coulomb explosion of small helium clusters
S. Kazandjian, J. Rist, M. Weller +17
Almost ten years ago, energetic neutral hydrogen atoms were detected after a strong-field double ionization of H. This process, called 'frustrated tunneling ionization', occurs…
Imaging the square of the correlated two-electron wave function of a hydrogen molecule
M. Waitz, R. Y. Bello, D. Metz +21
The toolbox for imaging molecules is well-equipped today. Some techniques visualize the geometrical structure, others the electron density or electron orbitals. Molecules are many-…
Recoil-Induced Asymmetry of Nondipole Molecular Frame Photoelectron Angular Distributions in the Hard X-ray Regime
M. Kircher, J. Rist, F. Trinter +15
We investigate angular emission distributions of the 1s-photoelectrons of N ionized by linearly polarized synchrotron radiation at keV. As expected, nondipole contrib…

We investigate the onset of photoionization shakeup induced interatomic Coulombic decay (ICD) in He2 at the He+*(n = 2) threshold by detecting two He+ ions in coincidence. We find…
