Abel transform analysis of ion storage ring imaging data.
In this paper a new approach to analyze dissociative recombination product distance distributions measured at ion storage rings is presented. This approach is based on an Abel transform and the validity is demonstrated for the imaging data obtained from the CRYRING experiments on the dissociative recombination of H(2)(+) and CO(+). The reported method is generally valid for the data analysis of high resolution merged beams experiments such as DESIREE where isotropic fragment distributions can be expected.
