Funded Activity Summary

Quantum Entanglement of Protons Studied by Electron Scattering at High Momentum Transfer. Eighty years after the establishment of quantum mechanics protons in matter are still largely seen as 'classical' particles, that do not interfere in ways known to occur for light and electrons. There are indications from neutron and electron scattering experiments from solids that, for extremely short time scales, (one-millionth of a nanosecond), this picture is too simple. The proposed experiment seeks to establish this fact for molecules in the gas-phase. As the chemical bond is formed at similar time-scales these experiments will improve our understanding of chemical reactions, and hence be of great value for the chemical industry.
