Abstract

Young-type interference in the ionization of helium in collisions with hydrogen molecular ions is investigated using a reaction microscope. Fringes are observed in the transverse momentum exchange between the collision partners.

Young-Type Interference in Collisions between Hydrogen Molecular Ions and Helium

The dissociative electron transfer from He into 10 keV H2+ was measured in a kinematically complete experiment by using the cold target recoil ion momentum spectroscopy imaging technique in combination with a highly resolving molecular fragment imaging technique. The electron transfer into the dissociative b(3)Sigma+_(u) state of H2 could be selected by kinematic conditions. We find a striking double slit interference pattern in the transverse momentum transfer which we can modify by selecting different internuclear distances. Compared to an optical double slit, interference minima and maxima are interchanged. The latter is the result of a phase shift in the electronic part of the wave function.

Measurements of associative ionization in collisions of K(nd) Rydberg atoms with a variety of molecular targets are reported, demonstrating that the Rydberg electron can serve as a catalyst to promote reactions involving the Rydberg core ion.

Formation of excited helium atoms from helium molecular ions

David Robert Bates

It is proposed that the helium atoms in the second quantum levels which are produced by the recombination of helium molecular ions arise from collisions between normal helium atoms and excited helium molecules during their passage downward from the high Rydberg levels first entered to the metastable level.
