Abstract

Single and multiple ionization of He, Ne, and Ar has been studied experimentally by impact of fast protons and antiprotons. The single-ionization cross sections obtained with protons and antiprotons are found to be the same. The double-ionization cross sections obtained with antiprotons, however, are much larger than those obtained with protons at equal velocity. This difference is found for all three gases but the effect is largest for He and Ne, where the difference is about a factor of 2 at 1 MeV/amu. The difference is discussed in terms of interference between two collision mechanisms which both result in double-electron escape. Experimental information on the magnitude of the interference term is obtained by inclusion of double-ionization data, partly obtained in this work, for fast electron and ..cap alpha..-particle impact. For triple ionization of Ne, we also find that antiprotons yield much larger cross sections than protons do. Identical cross sections, however, are found for triple ionization of Ar with protons and antiprotons. This is believed to be due to the fact that triple ionization of Ar is mainly a consequence of a single vacancy produced in an inner shell followed by electronic rearrangement. This observation supports the interpretation that themore »« less

Collisional mechanisms for single and double ionization of He by protons and antiprotons

Journal Article Olson, R E - Phys. Rev. A; (United States)

Classical trajectory Monte Carlo calculations have been used to elucidate the collision mechanisms responsible for the differences in the single- and double-ionization cross sections of He atoms by protons and antiprotons in the energy range from 250 to 1000 keV. The calculations employed the Bohr helium-atom model which includes the 1/r/sub 12/ electron-electron interaction. The unexpected large observed difference (Andersen et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 57, 2149 (1986)) in the ratio R of double to single ionization for proton and antiproton collisions is reproduced by the calculations. The calculations indicate that the antiproton double-ionization cross section is larger than thatmore »« less

Further studies of double ionization of He, Ne, and Ar by fast and slow antiprotons

Journal Article Andersen, L H ; Hvelplund, P ; Knudsen, H ; ... - Physical Review (Section) A: General Physics; (USA)

Measurements of the ratio {ital R} between double- and single-ionization cross sections for antiproton impact on He, Ne, and Ar targets are reported for impact energies ranging from 65 keV to 20 MeV. At high energies the results are found to merge with proton results at around 20 MeV, and the high-energy limit of the common ratio is in good agreement with recent first-Born-calculation results for the helium target. The large difference previously observed in the ratio {ital R} for protons and antiprotons at energies between 0.5 and 5 MeV is found to persist down to the lowest energies investigatedmore » here.« less

Si K-shell ionization and electron transfer cross sections: Solid targets

Journal Article Tawara, H ; Richard, P ; Gray, T J ; ... - Phys. Rev., A; (United States)

The Si K x-ray production cross sections for F/sup q/+(q = 3--9) ion impact in the energy range of 0.4--2.2 MeV/amu are determined in the limit of a vanishingly thin target from the observed target thickness dependence of the x-ray yields. The ionization cross sections are deduced from the measured x-ray production cross sections using an average fluorescence yield (omega-tilde = 1.5..omega../sub 0/, where ..omega../sub 0/ is the fluorescence yield for an atom with single K vacancy) determined from high-resolution x-ray spectra and configuration fluorescence yields. For F/sup q/+ (q < or = 6) ion impact, the measured ionization crossmore »« less

Fully Correlated Electronic Dynamics for Antiproton Impact Ionization of Helium

Journal Article Foster, M ; Colgan, J ; Pindzola, M S ; ... - Physical Review Letters

We present total cross sections for single and double ionization of helium by antiproton impact over a wide range of impact energies from 10 keV/amu to 1 MeV/amu. A nonperturbative time-dependent close-coupling method is applied to fully treat the correlated dynamics of the ionized electrons. Excellent agreement is obtained between our calculations and experimental measurements of total single and double ionization cross sections at high impact energies, whereas for lower impact energies, some discrepancies with experiment are found. At an impact energy of 1 MeV we also find that the double-to-single ionization ratio is twice as large for antiproton impactmore »« less

Time-dependent independent-particle model calculation of multiple capture and ionization processes in p-Ar, p-bar-Ar, and He{sup 2+}-Ar collisions

Journal Article Kirchner, T ; Horbatsch, M ; Luedde, H J ; ... - Physical Review. A

Previous work on multielectron transitions in proton, antiproton, and He{sup 2+}-ion impact on neon is extended to the case of argon targets for collision energies in the 5-1000 keV/amu range. Global quantities such as net electron loss from the target, net capture, and net ionization are predicted within experimental errors using a spherically symmetric optimized effective target atom potential with dynamical screening effects based on the time-dependent net ionization probability. The inclusion of target response is crucial in order to obtain correct positions and heights for the peaks in the net ionization cross sections. Effects due to cascading following multiplemore »« less
