Abstract

First results of a powerful, quick, and efficient technique for measuring the multipole content of the angular distributions characterizing electron loss in ion-atom collisions are compared to theory. Contrasting dipole properties of continuum-capture distributions are discussed. Two examples of future experimental opportunities are provided.
