We have studied experimentally the influence of the molecular alignment and spacing on the electron emission from a two body Coulomb potential induced by single photon absorption with 50 eV. Applying successfully the technique of COLTRIMS it was possible to measure doubly differential cross sections (DDCS) for the photo double ionization of hydrogen for fixed in space molecular orientations by detecting three particles in coincidence. The measurements covered 4pi solid angle.
We present angular distributions of one electron studying the influence of symmetry effects, selection rules and molecular orientations in body fixed frames. Although only one of the two electrons was measured, the angular distributions show a distinct dependency on the molecular orientation and on the Kinetic Energy Release (KER) of the recoiling ions.
Some of the experimental results can be compared with quantum mechanical calculations.
