مستخلص: We present an experimental study of multiple-electron capture-induced fragmentation dynamics of Ar 2 m + (4 ≤ m ≤ 7) dimer ions in 4 keV/u Ar8+–Ar2 collisions. The fragment recoil ion pairs and the charge-changing projectiles are coincidentally measured using a double coincidence technique. The branching ratios between the different charge-sharing fragmentation channels show an inherent enhancement of the asymmetric channels. The kinetic energy release (KER) distributions for the associated electron capture process show a shift in the mean KER values toward the higher side with increasing capture stabilization. The interplay between the different projectile autoionization processes sheds light on the energy depositions to the system during collisions. The Coulomb potential energy curves give a physical insight into the role of the projectile final states in the dimer fragmentation dynamics. The dimer-axis orientation-dependent cross sections for the asymmetric fragmentation channels reveal a forward–backward asymmetry that arises from the geometry of the collision system. Our findings thus give insight into the impact parameter-controlled fragmentation dynamics of multiply charged Ar 2 m + dimer ions in highly charged ion–dimer slow collisions. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
