K-shell X-ray production cross sections for oxygen ions on thin solid targets of 13 selected elements with atomic numbers between 16 and 35 were measured by a Si(Li) detector at incident ion energies from 7 to 24MeV. Ionization cross sections are compared with calculations assuming Coulomb-ionization. Best agreement is found with theoretical cross sections that include corrections for binding energy and Coulomb deflection effects. Energy shifts of K s and K~ X-rays and KJKr intensity ratios were also measured and are used to deduce information about outer shell ionization.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
