Triply differential cross-section measurements in the double photoionization ofD2and He with asymmetric kinematic conditions

Abstract
The breakup of D2 following the absorption of a single photon, leading to four free charged particles interacting via the Coulomb force, has been investigated. Triply differential cross sections (TDCSs) of the two ejected electrons were measured for selected asymmetric kinematic conditions, namely, a 20 eV electron in coincidence with a 5 eV “reference” electron fixed at four different angles. The results are compared with helium TDCSs and, although the respective angular distributions have similar features, there are surprising differences that could have their origin in two-center interference effects.
