Abstract
Dissociation Branching Ratios of CnHq+ molecules formed by multi-ionization of incident CnH+ projectiles colliding in high velocity collisions with a Helium atom have been measured. In addition, the KER of the H+ fragment for each channel was extracted. A striking feature that we obtained is the fact that the KER (Kinetic Energy Release) is always far below predictions of the point charge coulomb model (PCCM) even at large q values. For CHq+, we could explain this result on the basis of electronic state calculations and taking into account the fact that 1s ionization of the carbon atom occurs and has its own dynamics.
