Title: Correlated two-electron effects in highly charged ion-atom collisions: Transfer ionization and transfer excitation in 20-MeV Au/sup 15 +/+He collisions

Journal Article · · Phys. Rev. Lett.; (United States)

The emission of electrons in the forward direction in collisions of Au/sup 15 +/ with He has been studied in coincidence with final projectile charge state. The large transfer-ionization cross section observed can be accounted for by transfer of two electrons to a highly correlated state on the ion followed by loss of one electron to the continuum. Autoionization lines are observed which are due to transfer plus excitation.
