Ionization Cross Sections For 10-300-Kev/U And Electron-Capture Cross Sections For 5- 150-Kev/U 3He2+ Ions In Gases, M. Eugene Rudd, T. V. Goffe, A. Itoh Oct 1985

Ionization Cross Sections For 10-300-Kev/U And Electron-Capture Cross Sections For 5- 150-Kev/U 3He2+ Ions In Gases, M. Eugene Rudd, T. V. Goffe, A. Itoh

M. Eugene Rudd Publications

Cross sections for production of positive and negative charge for 10-300-keV/u He2+ ions on He, Ne, Ar, Kr, H2, N2, CO, O2, CH4, N2O, and C02 were measured by the transverse-field method. Single- and double-electron-capture cross sections at 5-150 keV/u for the same targets were measured by the method of deflection of different charge-state components of the beam after passing through a known length of target gas. A secondary-emission detector was used to detect the neutral component of the beam. A small least-squares adjustment of the cross sections …


Electron Production In Proton Collisions: Total Cross Sections, M. Eugene Rudd, Y-K. Kim, D. H. Madison, J. W. Gallagher Oct 1985

Electron Production In Proton Collisions: Total Cross Sections, M. Eugene Rudd, Y-K. Kim, D. H. Madison, J. W. Gallagher

M. Eugene Rudd Publications

Existing data on the ionization of neutral atoms and molecules by proton impact are reviewed, and electron production cross-section data are collected. The three major experimental methods are discussed and possible sources of error identified. Some theoretical cross sections are discussed, and well-established methods of relating them to measured cross sections are reviewed. A mathematical equation is fitted to the weighted experimental data for each target, and these fits are adjusted to be consistent with appropriate theoretical calculations and with electron impact and photoionization data. Recommended values of total cross sections for proton-impact ionization are given.


Cross Sections For Ionization Of Gases By 10-2000-Kev He+ Ions And For Electron Capture And Loss By 5-350-Kev He+ Ions, M. Eugene Rudd, T. V. Goff, A. Itoh, R. D. Dubois Aug 1985

Cross Sections For Ionization Of Gases By 10-2000-Kev He+ Ions And For Electron Capture And Loss By 5-350-Kev He+ Ions, M. Eugene Rudd, T. V. Goff, A. Itoh, R. D. Dubois

M. Eugene Rudd Publications

Cross sections for production of positive and negative charge for 10-2000-keV He+ ions on He, Ne, Ar, Kr, H2, N2, CO, O2, CH4, and CO2 were measured by the transverse-field method. Electron-capture and -loss cross sections for 5-350-keV He+ ions on the same targets were measured by the method of beam deflection of various charge states after passing through a known length of target gas. Secondary-emission detectors were used to detect neutral, singly charged, and doubly charged beam components. The equation σ+- σ- = σ10 …
