Abstract
We present measurements and calculations of the momentum distribution of electrons emitted during the ion-atom collision 10 keV/u , which show rich structures for ion scattering angles above 2 mrad arising dominantly from two-electron states. Our calculations reveal that minima in the measured distributions are zeros in the electronic probability density resulting from vortices in the electronic current.
