Abstract
Double ionization of helium by 6 MeV proton impact has been explored in a kinematically complete experiment using a "reaction microscope." For the first time, fully differential cross sections for positively charged projectiles have been obtained and compared with data from 2 keV electron impact. The significant differences observed in the angular distribution of the ejected electrons are attributed to the charge sign of the projectile, resulting in different dynamics of the four-particle Coulomb system, which is not considered in the first Born approximation.
