Cross sections for electron emission in the energy range from $2--300\mathrm{eV}$ were measured $60\mathrm{MeV}/u$ ${\mathrm{Kr}}^{34+}$ ions impacting on ${\mathrm{H}}_{2}$. Model calculations are introduced to guide search interference effects spectra produced by coherent of electrons two H atoms analogy with Young's two-slit experiment. Experimentally, a full sinusoidal-like oscillation was observed up $250\mathrm{eV}$ good agreement calculations. The oscillatory structure is found be...
Gas-phase near-edge X-ray absorption mass spectrometry (NEXAMS) was employed at the carbon and oxygen K-edges to probe influence of a single water molecule on protonated phosphotyrosine molecule. The results photodissociation experiments revealed that forms two bonds, with phosphate group another chemical group. By comparing NEXAMS spectra density functional theory calculations, we attributed electronic transitions responsible for observed resonances, especially due presence We showed leads...
We report highly selective covalent bond modifications in collisions between keV alpha particles and van der Waals clusters of ${\mathrm{C}}_{60}$ fullerenes. Surprisingly, $\mathrm{C}_{119}{}^{+}$ $\mathrm{C}_{118}{}^{+}$ are the dominant molecular fusion products. use dynamics simulations to show that $\mathrm{C}_{59}{}^{+}$ $\mathrm{C}_{58}{}^{+}$ ions---effectively produced prompt knockout processes with ${\mathrm{He}}^{2+}$---react rapidly form dumbbell $\mathrm{C}_{118}{}^{+}$.

Abstract In general, radiation‐induced fragmentation of small amino acids is governed by the cleavage CC α bond. We present results obtained with 300 keV Xe 20+ ions that allow molecules (glycine and valine) to be ionised at large distances without appreciable energy transfer. Also in case, bond turns out weakest link hence its scission dominant channel. Intact are observed very low intensities. When embedded a cluster acids, protective effect environment observed. The pattern changes:...
The Cover Feature illustrates a study on hydrated phosphotyrosine in the gas phase. In their Research Article (DOI: 10.1002/chem.202403665), J. Leroux, S. Bari and co-workers explain how, by combining synchrotron radiation tuned to oxygen core—shell energy with tandem mass spectrometry, they identified most favorable position adopted single water molecule protonated amino acid. Their integrated experimental theoretical approach revealed that bridges phosphate carboxyl groups, effectively...
Angle- and energy-dependent cross sections for electron emission were measured 68-MeV/u ${\mathrm{Kr}}^{33+}$ ions impacting on ${\mathrm{H}}_{2}.$ These results show, in accordance with our earlier observation, that interference effects are produced by the coherent of electrons from two H atoms, analogy Young's two-slit experiment. Furthermore, present demonstrate observed oscillatory pattern varies observation angle, contrary to expectations but agreement recent theoretical predictions.

We report on an experimental study of the ionization and fragmentation clusters $k$ polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) molecules using anthracene, C${}_{14}$H${}_{10}$, or coronene, C${}_{24}$H${}_{12}$. These PAH are moderately charged strongly heated in small impact parameter collisions with 22.5-keV He${}^{2+}$ ions, after which they mostly decay long monomer evaporation sequences singly comparatively cold monomers as dominating end products. describe a simple cluster model estimate...
Abstract Fragmentation of the γ‐aminobutyric acid molecule (GABA, NH 2 (CH ) 3 COOH) following collisions with slow O 6+ ions ( v ≈0.3 a.u.) was studied in gas phase by a combined experimental and theoretical approach. In experiments, multicoincidence detection method used to deduce charge state GABA before fragmentation. This is essential unambiguously unravel different fragmentation pathways. It found that molecular cations resulting from hardly survive interaction main dissociation...
Interference structures associated with the emission of electrons from ${\mathrm{H}}_{2}$ by fast ${\mathrm{Kr}}^{33+}$ ions $(v/c=0.3)$ are found to exhibit oscillations second order superimposed on main oscillatory structure. The secondary occur about twice frequency oscillations. While primary structure is produced coherent two atomic centers, similar Young's two-slit experiment, our theoretical analysis indicates that doubling a second-order effect, where electron wave emitted at one...

We have observed significant differences in the fragmentation patterns of isomeric Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbon (PAH) cations following collisions with helium atoms at center-of-mass energies around 100 eV. This is contrast to situation other collision or photo-absorption experiments where effects are very weak and lowest-energy dissociation channels (H- C2H2-loss) dominate statistical processes. In eV range, non-statistical also competes uniquely linked losses single carbon (CHx-losses)....
We measured the energy and angular distribution of fragment ions from collisions 2–90 keV Neq+ (q = 1, 3, 5, 7 9) with H2O molecules. A strong dependence on charge state incident ion was observed. The results are interpreted within framework a Coulomb explosion model. Deviations this model in recoil attributed to post-collision effects by electric field projectile. Absolute cross sections for production were found be consistent calculated using classical over-barrier

Double- $K$-shell-vacancy production in Li by $95\mathrm{MeV}/\mathrm{nucleon}{\mathrm{Ar}}^{18+}$ projectiles was investigated using high-resolution electron spectroscopy. The two $K$ vacancies are found to come about mainly ionization and excitation, giving rise excited states hollow $\mathrm{Li}{}^{+}$. Strong line intensities from the ${2s}^{2}^{1}S$ $2s3s^{3}S$ configurations provide spectral identification for electron-electron interaction. Production of state, with an intensity...
