Integral cross sections are reported for ion pair formation in collisions between hydrogen (H,D) and noble-gas (Ar,Kr,Xe) atoms from threshold to 100 eV. The energy dependence of the cross sections is strongly oscillatory. A curve crossing model provides a good semi-quantitative explanation of the results.
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.
