Abstract

Breakup fragment energy distributions from the Coulomb explosions in thin carbon foils of ~2 MeV H+2, H+3, D+2 and D+3 molecular ion beams have been measured for the incident beam direction. The energy distributions show H+3 and D+3 both to be triangular in shape. Mean values of intenuclear separations were extracted as (1.19 ± 0.03) A ̊, (1.32 ± 0.03) A ̊, (0.98 ± 0.02) A ̊, and (0.93 ± 0.02) A ̊ respectively for H+2 D+2, H+3 and D+3. The H+2, and H+3 results are consistent with the previous values obtained at Argonne, Lyon and Rehovot.
