Electron transitions in multiply-charged ion-helium collisions

Author

M. Lou McKenzie

Abstract

"A classical model for He using the Classical Trajectory Monte Carlo method is developed to study multiply charged ions colliding with He at intermediate energies. Reactions studied are single and double electron capture and ionization and electron capture-ionization for projectile charge states q = +1 to +50. The dominant collision process is single ionization. Charge exchange is found to be a two-electron process, where one electron is ionized and one is captured by the projectile. We find our calculations to be in good agreement with available experimental data, supporting our interpretations of the collision mechanisms"-- Abstract, p. iii
