Interference effects in electron emission from H2 by 68-MeV/u Kr33+ impact: Dependence on the emission angle

International audienceAngle- and energy-dependent cross sections for electron emission were measured for 68-MeV/u Kr33+ ions impacting on H2. These results show, in accordance with our earlier observation, that interference effects are produced by the coherent emission of electrons from the two H atoms, in analogy with Young’s two-slit experiment. Furthermore, the present results demonstrate that the observed oscillatory pattern varies with the electron observation angle, contrary to our earlier expectations but in agreement with recent theoretical predictions
