Electron-loss cross sections in symmetric multicharged-ion collisions

Journal Article · · Phys. Rev. Lett.; (United States)
The first measurements of electron-loss cross sections sigma(q..-->..q+1) for symmetric collisions between multicharged heavy ions have been performed by use of a folded-beam ion-ion collider. The absolute values of sigma(3..-->..4) for the Ar/sup 3+/+Ar/sup 3+/ and the Kr/sup 3+/+Kr/sup 3+/ systems at 60 keV c.m. energy were determined from the measurements.
