Resumo

The effect of target polarization fields on the bond-angle distribution following the foil-induced Coulomb explosion of $\mathrm{CH}_{2}{}^{+}$ has been measured. Incorporating a detailed model description of the polarization effects and other target effects into a Monte Carlo simulation of the experiment, a good description of the various observables is obtained. In particular, the bond-angle distribution is found to agree with existing ab initio calculations.
