Abstract
The results of Coulomb explosion imaging for cold CH+4 molecular ions are converted to the molecular conformation probability density. This is the first complete conversion of such data for a relatively complex molecule. The results are compared with the corresponding predicted potential energy surfaces which manifest a Jahn–Teller symmetry breaking. The density of conformations along a nuclear rearrangement path is deduced and the comparison with the theory is satisfactory in almost every respect, except for the density near the minimum of the theoretical potential
