Title: Ion-momentum imaging of dissociative attachment of electrons to molecules

Abstract

Here, we present an overview of experiments and theory relevant to dissociative electron attachment studied by momentum imaging. We describe several key examples of characteristic transient anion dynamics in the form of small polyatomic electron-molecule systems. In each of these examples the so-called axial recoil approximation is found to break down due to correlation of the electronic and nuclear degrees of freedom of the transient anion. Guided by anion fragment momentum measurements and predictions of the electron scattering attachment probability in the molecular frame, we demonstrate that accurate predictions of the dissociation dynamics can be achieved without a detailed investigation of the surface topology of the relevant electronic states or the fragment trajectories on those surfaces.
