Abstract
The influence of projectile-electron-target-electron (e-e) interaction s leading to ionization is examined, both theoretically and experiment ally, for various collision systems. Among our conclusions, we find th at e-e interactions dominate the low energy electron emission in fast collisions between neutral atoms. This results in a linear, as opposed to a quadratic, projectile nuclear charge dependence for the total ta rget ionization cross sections.
