Role of Metastable Dicationic Intermediates in the Breakup of CH${}_4^{2+}$

Samiksha Dehru, Evan Munaro-Langloÿs, Aditya Yadav +8

We investigate the fragmentation dynamics of methane dication (CH${}_4^{2+}$) produced in collisions with 50-MeV C${}^{6+}$ ions using the COLTRIMS technique. The method provides compl…
