Title: Recent results of k-shell ionization by ion collisions

Journal Article · · IEEE Trans. Nucl. Sci.; (United States)

The experimental K-shell ionization cross sections of /sub 48/Cd, /sub 50/Sn, /sub 52/Te, /sub 53/I and /sub 56/Ba for alpha particles, between 2.2 MeV and 2.8 MeV, and of /sub 52/Te for protons, between 1.6 and 3 MeV, are presented. The justification for making these measurements comes, on the one hand, in filling a region where, at present, data are sparse: for example, /sub 52/Te ionization cross sections by alpha particles have never been reported before, and, on the other hand, checking between previously reported and diverging sets of experimental results: for example, for alpha particles on tin. In addition, the K-shell ionization cross sections of /sub 52/Te for protons can be considered as an extension of Khelill's measurements.
