We Present Ionization Cross Sections of Hydrogen Molecules by Electron and Positron Impact for Impact Energies between 20 and 1000 EV. a Three-Body Classical Trajectory Monte Carlo Approximation is Applied to Mimic the Collision System. in This Approach, the H2 Molecule is Modeled by a Hydrogen-Type Atom with One Active Electron Bound to a Central Core of Effective Charge with an Effective Binding Energy. Although This Model is Crude for Describing a Hydrogen Molecule, We Found that the Total Cross Sections for Positron Impact Agree Reasonably Well with the Experimental Data. for the Electron Impact, Our Calculated Cross Sections Are …

Energy And Angular Distributions In 250 Ev Electron And Positron Collisions With Argon Atom, K. Tőkési, Robert D. Dubois

Physics Faculty Research & Creative Works

We present energy and angular differential cross sections for single ionization in collisions between electrons and positrons with argon atoms at 250 eV. We treat the collision classically using the three-body approximation where the target atoms are described within the single active electron approximation using a Garvey model potential and only the outermost electron is involved in the collision dynamics. Our present classical trajectory Monte Carlo model is shown to describe the ionization cross sections reasonably well and agree with existing experimental data. We show that the energy distributions, both for electron and positron impact, have the same shape and …
