Momentum imaging of electrons and recoil ions from anion–neutral interactions in a cryogenic ion storage ring
We have momentum-analyzed electrons and recoil ions in triple coincidence with projectiles neutralized in 300-keV <a:math xmlns:a="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"><a:mrow><a:mi mathvariant="normal">S</a:mi><a:msup><a:mrow><a:mi mathvariant="normal">i</a:mi></a:mrow><a:mo>−</a:mo></a:msup><a:mo>+</a:mo><a:mi>Ar</a:mi></a:mrow></a:math> collisions. The experiment was performed at a cryogenic ion storage ring with an in-ring reaction microscope. Differential momentum distributions for detachment with simultaneous target ionization were obtained. At more than 15% of the detachment-only rate the ionization rate is surprisingly large. A correlated two-electron channel is found to be dominant. This is also unexpected because the projectile energy is well below the threshold for the correlated process.
