TL;DR: Two processes, very fast and trigger Coulomb explosion of the dimer due to creation of charge-separated states, are identified and predicted to occur also in alpha-particle-irradiated nucleobase pairs in DNA molecules.

TL;DR: In this article, the Coulomb-explosion imaging is used to reconstruct the geometry of molecules from the direct multibody breakups of its ions, but the events of the ''direct breakup channel'' are not the real direct breakups but the rapid sequential breakups with a short-lived and ultrafastrotational fragment.

TL;DR: An exotic transfer channel involving a heavy N+ ion observed in a doubly charged Van der Waals cluster produced in collisions of the highly charged Ne8+ ion with N2Ar, leading to fragmentation of N+ and NAr+ via Coulomb explosion.

TL;DR: In this article, the two-body fragmentation induced by electron-capture collision of $5.28m/$5.7\ensuremath{-}\mathrm{keV}/\mathm{u}\phantom{\rule{0.28em}{0ex}}''2}

TL;DR: In this article , a review on the investigations of atomic structure and collision dynamics with highly charged ions based on the heavy ion storage rings and electron ion beam traps in recent 20 years is reviewed.
