Ion induced fragmentation of diatomic molecular clusters

Synopsis Weakly bound atomic or molecular clusters are of growing interest in the fields of atmospheric science, hadron-therapy or astrophysics. We will present our recent experimental results on the fragmentation of diatomic molecular dimers after irradiation by highly charged ions. For (N 2 ) 2 dimers, the measured KER spectrum is very similar to the one of the N 2 monomers but is globally shifted towards higher energies. Moreover, sequential...
