Charge-changing cross sections for 1--25-keV H(1s) incident on a Na-vapor target

Journal Article · · Phys. Rev. A; (United States)
Measurements of the charge-changing cross sections sigma/sub g/- and sigma/sub g/+ are reported for 1--25-keV fast H(1s) atoms incident on a Na-vapor target. The cross section sigma/sub g/- falls from 3 x 10/sup -15/ cm/sup 2/ at 1 keV to 3.5 x 10/sup -18/ cm/sup 2/ at 25 keV. The cross section sigma/sub g/+ rises from 1.1 x 10/sup -17/ cm/sup 2/ at 2 keV to 1.5 x 10/sup -15/ cm/sup 2/ at 25 keV. Measured values of the equilibrium fractions F/sub -//sup infinity/ and F/sub +//sup infinity/ for incident H/sup -/ ions are also presented.
