Ionization and multifragmentation of C{sub 60} by high-energy, highly charged Xe ions
- Argonne National Lab., Chicago, IL (United States)
Ionization and multifragmentation have been observed in C{sub 60} molecules bombarded by Xe{sup 35+} and Xe{sup 18+} ions with energies in the range 420-625 MeV. The CM energies exceeded those used in previous studies by several orders of magnitude. The authors present the observed mass distribution of positively charged fragments together with a theoretical model indicating that the total interaction cross section contains roughly equal contributions from (a) excitation of the giant plasmon resonance, and (b) large-energy-transfer processes that lead to multiple fragmentation of the molecule. The results of additional measurements of the VUV emission from fragments arising from these interactions will also be presented.
