Symmetry breaking in the body-fixed electron emission pattern due to electron-retroaction in the photodissociation of H_{2}^{+} and D_{2}^{+} close to threshold

We present an experimental investigation of symmetry breaking of H_{2} and D_{2} molecules after single photoionization due to the Coulomb field of the emitted slow electron interacting with the parent cation during dissociation. The experiments were carried out by measuring the three-dimensional mo...
