Continuum electron emission from collisions of 0. 1--3. 2-MeV Kr ions with Xe targets

Journal Article · · Phys. Rev. Lett.; (United States)
Electrons with energies in the range of 100 to 600 eV have been observed to be emitted following 0.1--3.2-MeV collisions of Kr ions with Xe targets. Coincidence measurements between these electrons and the scattered ions determine the impact-parameter dependence for this electron emission. Although these data lie outside the conventional region of applicability of the one-electron molecular-orbital model, they are remarkably consistent with such molecular-orbital calculations. These Kr-Xe data are similar in nature to those for Kr-Kr collisions which previous authors have interpreted differently.
