Spatial correlations in finite samples revealed by Coulomb explosion

We demonstrate that fast removal of many electrons uncovers initial correlations of atoms in a finite sample through a pronounced peak in the kinetic-energy spectrum of the exploding ions. This maximum is the result of an intricate interplay between the composition of the system from discrete particles and its boundary. The formation of the peak can be described analytically, allowing for correlations beyond a mean-field reference model. It can be experimentally detected with short and intense light pulses from 4th-generation light sources.
