Projectile1s→2pexcitation due to electron-electron interaction in collisions ofO5+andF6

Abstract: Evidence is presented of an excitation process in ion-atom collisions analogous to electron-impact excitation in free-electron-ion collisions. The production of Xslslp 4 P projectile states excited in collisions of (\s 2 2s) O s+ and F 6+ with He and H2 targets was found to increase with projectile energy above ^0.75 MeV/u, in agreement with an impulse-approximation treatment of Is-* 2p electron-impact excitation of ions in collisions "quasifree" target electrons. Such ion-atom excitations could provide presen… Show more

“…In 1989, Zouros et al [1] showed that the 1s → 2p projectile excitation cross section for Li-like F 6+ and O 5+ ions in collisions with H 2 and He (see Figs. 1-2) was found to increase when the projectile velocity V p was such that 1 2 mV 2 p ∆E, where ∆E is the projectile 1s → 2p excitation energy and m the mass of the electron.…”

“…1-2) was found to increase when the projectile velocity V p was such that 1 2 mV 2 p ∆E, where ∆E is the projectile 1s → 2p excitation energy and m the mass of the electron. This enhancement of the projectile excitation cross section on passing the electron impact excitation threshold ∆E was interpreted as being due to the onset of direct projectile-electron-target-electron interactions in a process named electron-electron excitation (eeE) [1]. In reverse kinematics, the quasi-free target electrons as seen by the ion from the projectile frame, forms an "electron beam" that can excite the projectile electrons once its impact kinetic energy is larger than ∆E.…”
