Indirect processes in electron-impact ionization of multiply-charged ions

Conference ·
OSTI ID:5998778
Recent research efforts have assembled a steadily increasing array of measurements and calculations of electron impact ionization of multiply-charged ions. Significant disagreement is often found, however, between experimental results and theory due to the influence of a number of indirect processes observed in the experiments but not included in the calculations. Some of the most important of these indirect ionization processes are described and examples are discussed. New data for electron impact single-ionization of Kr/sup 2 +/ are presented in the energy range from below threshold (36 eV) to 1500 eV, and compared to related measurements and to theory.
