Abstract
A crossed-beams energy-loss spectrometer has been used to investigate angul ar distributions for electron scattering from Ar2+ and Xe2+ ions, at a coll ision energy of 16 eV. For Ar2+ the measurements are compared with the pred ictions of a partial waves calculation based on a semi-empirical potential, where it is shown that the interference term governs the position of the o bserved minimum in the angular distribution.
