In contrast to the experimental studies of photoexcitation ion-pair dissociation, there are some experimental challenges in the electron-impact ion-pair dissociation study, in particular, on determination of the energetic threshold. Here we report an experimental development for the ion-pair dissociation study by using the monochromized electron impacts. As an example, the threshold of BrCN→Br^-+CN^+ is determined as 13.78 eV according to the appearance energy of CN^+ signals, meanwhile, the time-sliced ion velocity image of CN^+ is recorded at 16.09 eV and indicates an anisotropic distribution of the CN^+ momentum.展开更多

By numerically solving the relativistic equations of motion of an electron generated from this facility in laser fields modelled by a circular polarized Gaussian laser pulse, we find the electron can obtain high energy gain from the laser pulse. The corresponding acceleration distance for this electron driven by the ascending part of the laser pulse is much longer than the Rayleigh length, and the light amplitude experienced on the electron is very weak when the laser pulse overtakes the electron. The electron is accelerated effectively and the deceleration can be neglected.For intensities around 1019 W·μm2/cm2,an electron's energy gain near 0.1 GeV can be realized when its initial energy is 4.5 MeV, and the final velocity of the energetic electron is parallel with the propagation axis. The energy gain can be up to 1 GeV if the intensity is about 1021 W·μm2/cm2.The final energy gain of the electron as a function of its initial conditions and the parameters of the laser beam has also been discussed.展开更多
