Jz. Mezei et L. Nagy, Theoretical study of the simultaneous ionization and excitation of helium by fast charged projectiles, NUCL INST B, 154(1-4), 1999, pp. 295-299
Cross sections for the simultaneous ionization and excitation to the 2s sta
te of the helium atom by fast proton and antiproton impact have been calcul
ated. We apply the impact parameter method and use a second-order perturbat
ion approximation. Electron correlation is taken into account in the initia
l state but is neglected in the final state. The cross sections obtained fo
r protons are higher than those obtained for antiproton projectiles, in acc
ordance with the theoretical findings of Sidorovich (V.A. Sidorovich, J. Ph
ys. B 30 (1997) 2187). (C) 1999 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
