An analysis of experimental fully differential data for single ionization in 100 MeV/amu C6++He collisions is reported. We present a convolution of the first Born approximation with elastic scattering by using an event generator technique. Furthermore, the calculation is convoluted with all known experimental resolutions. Our analysis shows that elastic scattering is a viable explanation for surprising structures observed in the fully differential cross sections outside the scattering plane. Furthermore, it may even explain discrepancies in the “recoil peak” frequently observed for both ion and electron impact.

State selective nl-electron capture cross sections are presented for highly charged ions with Z=6-10 colliding with atoms and molecules. The energy range investigated was from 1 eV/amu(v=0.006 a.u.)to 100 keV/amu(v=2.0 a.u.). The energy dependence of the l-level populations is investigated. The K shell x-ray emission cross sections are determined by using the calculated state-selective electron capture results as input and then applying hydrogenic branching and cascading values for the photon emission. A major shift in the line emission from being almost solely Lyman-alpha transitions at the highest collisions energies to strong high-n to 1s transitions at the lowest energies is …

In this paper, we will report on fully differential cross sections (FDCS) for single ionization of helium by 75 keV proton impact for fixed ejected electron energies and different momentum transfers. These measurements show major discrepancies in the absolute magnitude between experiment and the theoretical, 3DW (three-distorted-wave) model. The 3DW model treats the collision as a three-body process (projectile, ion, ejected electron), and for the scattering plane it has accurately predicted the FDCS for higher energy C6+ impact ionization of helium. The lack of agreement between the 3DW model and experiment for low energy collisions suggests that a three-body …

We report fully differential cross sections (FDCS) for the single ionization of helium by a 75 keV incident energy proton. Previous three-body distorted wave (3DW) calculations for this collision system are in poor agreement with the absolute magnitude of the experimental measurements. The 3DW approximation treats the four-body problem as an effective three-body problem in which the passive electron does not participate in the collision. We have developed a full four-body approach in which the passive electron fully participates in the collision. It will be shown that the FDCS is very sensitive to the treatment of the passive electron-ejected electron …

We have measured fully differential single ionization cross sections for 75 keV p+He collisions. At this relatively small projectile velocity, signatures of the projectile-residual-target-ion interaction, which are not observable for fast projectiles and for electron impact, are revealed rather sensitively. In fact, this interaction appears to be more important than the postcollision interaction, which so far was assumed to be the most important factor in higher-order effects for slow ion impact. These features are not well reproduced by our three-distorted-wave calculations.

We compare experimental fully differential three-dimensional angular distributions of electrons ionized from He in collision with ionic projectiles covering a broad range of perturbations (0.065 to 4.4). Even at very small perturbations clear signatures of higher-order contributions are observable. At large perturbations, such contributions become even dominant, especially those involving the post-collision interaction between the outgoing projectile and the ionized electron. Our results show that single ionization is not nearly as well understood as was assumed previously.
