Abstract

We present the realization of a Young-type double-slit experiment, in which single electrons, scattering on two protons, produce interference pattern. The electrons are produced by a Auger effect, following double capture process in low He2++H2 collisions. Well-defined oscillations are visible in the angular distribution of the electrons emitted towards the receding protons. The presence of these oscillations is a clear demonstration that an electron interferes with itself. We also discuss the dependence of the interference pattern with interference parameters, such as the electron wavelength as well as the distance between the protons when the electron is ejected.
