Fig. 2: Coulomb explosion imaging of trans-DCE: experiment versus simulation.

a Measured and b simulated Newton plots of trans-DCE from the (H+, H+, C+, C+, 35Cl+, 35Cl+) 6-fold coincidence channel. In this case, the coordinate frame for each event is aligned such that the difference vector between the two Cl+ momenta is parallel to the px axis. The pxpy plane is established using the vector difference of the two C+ momenta. The experimental (top) and simulated (bottom) azimuthal angular distributions for each ion (integrated over momentum magnitude) are given in panel c.
