Abstract
Fast molecular ions excited in collisions with solid or gaseous targets loose most of their binding electrons and the remaining molecular fragments are then strongly repelled by their mutual Coulomb force. High resolution measurements on the fragments arising from this “Coulomb explosion” show promise as an unique technique to determine the geometrical structure of molecular ions. Similar information may be obtained studying the influence of the “Coulomb explosion” on the Auger decay of electronic states in the fragments of the molecular ion projectiles.
