He. Wolf et al., DIFFRACTION EFFECTS IN BINARY ENCOUNTER ELECTRON PRODUCTION FROM COLLISIONS OF PARTIALLY STRIPPED IONS, Nuclear instruments & methods in physics research. Section B, Beam interactions with materials and atoms, 79(1-4), 1993, pp. 64-66
A systematic investigation of binary encounter electron production fro
m collisions of partially stripped ions with hydrogen and noble gases
is currently under way. We present experimental double-differential bi
nary encounter electron cross sections as well as model calculations f
or 0.6 MeV amu-1 Cu19+, I23+ and Au29+ ions colliding with argon. The
results show how, with increasing the screening of the projectile nucl
ear charge, quantum diffraction effects manifest themselves in the ang
ular behaviour and shape of the binary encounter peak.
