Ionization of atomic oxygen by protons

Abstract: A crossed-beam technique incorporating time-of-flight analysis and coincidence counting of the collision products, recently used in this laboratory to study one-electron capture in collisions of H + ions with ground-state oxygen atoms, has been adapted to allow measurements of the corresponding cross sections for ionization for the first time. Cross sections for the single ionization of O atoms have been determined within the range 34-100 keV. These cross sections pass through a peak value at an energy of abou… Show more

“…Previous studies of the p-O collision system, which is of astrophysical interest, include experimental observations of single capture, single ionization, and transfer ionization by 13͔, and a recent model calculation which yielded somewhat satisfactory results for ionization and capture, but not for transfer ionization ͓14͔. In the high-energy limit the ionization data can be compared with experimental electron impact results ͓15͔.…”

“…After penetrating the plasma fast oxygen atoms are ionized in collisions with plasma particles, in particular with protons, and confined. Following the method used in [14] to estimate beam penetration into a hot plasma, and using ionization cross-section data for particle collisions with oxygen from [23][24][25], plus ionization rate coefficient data for collisions with electrons from [26], the mean-free path for fast oxygen ionization is of the order of 0.7 m (compared to ∼2 m for full-energy hydrogen neutrals) for typical plasma conditions when NBI commences (i.e. line-averaged electron density n e = 6 × 10 18 m −3 and Z eff = 2 with boron being the main impurity [27]).…”

“…Notable examples of results for excitation include proton impact excitation for Be-like (Ryan et al 1998), B-like (Foster et al 1997), C-like (Ryan et al 1999), and Be-like to Cl-like ions . Regarding ionization, the following works are of particular interest: He* + H (Mihajlov et al 1996), H + H (Krstic et al 1996), H+ + 0 (Thompson et al 1997), H+, He 2 +, Li 3 + + H (Toshima 1997), and H+ + H (Shah et al 1998).…”
