Many-electron effects in electron-impact ionization of multiply charged ions

Conference ·
OSTI ID:5991402
Many-electron phenomena critically influence the ionization of multiply charged ions by electron impact. In general, inner-shell electrons play an increasingly important role in the electron-impact ionization process as the ionic or nuclear charge increase along an ionic sequence. A few specific examples are given to illustrate the signature and relative contributions of a number of indirect ionization mechanisms to the total ionization cross sections.
