Forward backward asymmetry in electron emission from H₂by fast carbon ions and Young type interference effect

We have investigated the effect of Young type interference on the forward backward angular asymmetry in electron emission from molecular hydrogen in collisions with fast bare carbon ions. The asymmetry parameter shows an oscillatory behaviour as a function of electron velocity which is absent in atomic target such as He. It is shown that the asymmetry parameter which is based on DDCS from H₂only can be a tool to investigate the Young type interference. The measured energy and angular distributions as well as the asymmetry parameter are compared with a molecular CDW-EIS (continuum distorted wave-eikonal initial state) model.
