Abstract
The target-polarization effects and bond-angle distribution P(ρ V), which were followed by the foil-induced Coulomb explosion imaging (CEI) of CH2+ were analyzed. At target with thickness of 0.8 μg/cm2 and 1.5 μg/cm2, the normalized bond-angle distributions were measured. The probability distributions of P(ρV) were found to be sharper for the thinner of the targets due to the reduction of polarization and scattering effects in the foil. The geometry of the CH2+ molecular ion was described by using the R-space structure.
