Abstract
When an atom is ionized by ion impact, the electron is ejected into a final continuum state of a two-centre potential due to the Coulomb fields of the projectile and ionized atom. The related effects on the electron yield or energy and angular distributions are referred to as two-centre electron emission (TCEE). The present report is devoted to a discussion of experimental and theoretical evidence of this TCEE. The use of heavy ions or antiprotons as projectiles allows to unravel these effects by monitoring the two centre potential. On the theoretical side, the continuum distorted wave-eikonal initial state theory (CDW-EIS) accounts for the TCEE thus allowing a detailed interpretation of the experimental findings.Keywords
