"This thesis examines several atomic collisional processes involved in controlled thermonuclear fusion. Specifically, experimental studies have been made on the state- selective single capture reaction
3He2+ + He ā> 3He+(n) + He+(n'), (1)
on the double capture reaction
3He2+ + H eā> 3He + He2+ , (2)
and on the single ionization of atomic targets X
Aq+ + X ā> Aq+ + X+ + e- (3)
by charged projectiles Aq+. Reactions (1) and (2) have an importance in plasma energy balance and in ā¦
