Abstract
As a result of the efforts of several experimental groups, a very large amount of data has been accumulated in studies of the interactions of energetic (several MeV) molecular-ion beams with solid and gaseous targets [1, 2]. A fairly detailed (though by no means complete) picture of these interactions is now evolving. We have reached the point of sophistication where it is apparent that one of the crucial factors in successfully interpreting the available data is an equally detailed knowledge of the geometric structures of the incident molecular-ions [3]. More importantly, if experimental conditions are properly controlled, these data can be used to determine uniquely such structures with a fair degree of accuracy [4]. Though the accuracy achievable in these measurements is not as high as through standard photon emission or absorption techniques, they do provide an important starting point for the usually more difficult photon measurements. In this presentation, we will describe the use of such “Coulomb explosion” measurements to gain important structural information about various molecular ions.
