Abstract
We report an observation of the strong dependence of the multiple ionization cross section on the alignment of the molecular axis in collisions of highly charged Xe ions with molecules at an impact energy of 5.9 MeV/amu. Theoretical calculations based on the statistical-energy-deposition model well describe the experimental data.
