Must saddle point electrons always ride on the saddle? Observation of mirror image saddle mechanism in slow collisions — •F. Afaneh¹, R. Dörner², L. Schmidt¹, T. Weber¹, K. Stiebing¹, O.

The transfer-ionization of He and H₂ by incident He²⁺ was investigated at 0.81 a.u. impact velocity employing COLTRIMS. In addition to electrons in the saddle point region between target and projectile forming two jets separated by a valley along the projectile beam axis, we find a new group of electrons moving with a velocity greater than the projectile velocity. These new fast forward electrons result from a narrow range of impact parameters and appear as image saddle in the projectile frame. They contribute up to 40% to the total cross section of the transfer ionisation process.
