5.3.3 Kinetic Energy Release

The kinetic energy release (KER) is the most important observable in our Coulomb-explosion experiments on molecules as it allows to draw conclusions on the geometry of the molecule at the time it was fragmented. The KER equals the summed kinetic energy of all atomic or ionic fragments emerging from photoionization of the molecule. The KER of coincident fragments equals the difference in potential energy of the initial molecular geometry minus the asymptotic energy for infinitely separated particles:
