Fig. 3: 2D velocity-map and covariance map images for the \({\mathrm{CF}}_2^ +\) + I⁺ + F channel.

a central slice of the 3D scattering distribution for the \({\mathrm{CF}}_2^ +\) product of CF₃I²⁺ dissociation; b covariance-map image of \({\mathrm{CF}}_2^ +\) formed with an I⁺ partner ion. Both images are plotted on a normalised intensity scale.
