Abstract
Charge changing collisions between slow protons (v ∼ 0.2 a.u.) and C60 fullerenes have been studied with the technique of coincident time-of flight mass spectrometry. Despite the low collision energies, the fullerene target is multi-ionised and formed in charge states 1 to 3, the outgoing scattered protons are neutralised or negatively charged. The relative importance of different processes (single and double capture, transfer ionisation and target excitation) as a function of the scattering angle, as well as corresponding angular distributions are discussed
