Electron-transfer cross sections for 8-40 MeV O{sup 7,8+} + Ar collisions
Absolute cross sections for single and double electron capture and single electron loss have been determined for O{sup 7,8+} ions colliding with Ar in the energy range 8 - 40 MeV. This work was done using the Western Michigan University tandem Van de Graaff. The present results for electron capture are systematically larger by about 30% than the cross sections determined previously by Macdonald and Martin. The single electron capture cross sections agree well with the empirical scaling rule of Schlachter et al. Double electron capture cross sections were found to be lower than the single electron capture cross sections by a factor of about 5. Single and double electron capture cross sections were also measured for O{sup 8+} on He as a benchmark for the experimental procedures, and these cross sections agreed well with previous measurements.
