Ionization collisions between two excited atoms: Application of the Glauber amplitude in the framework of the impulse approximation
Abstract
The cross-section formula of Flannery (Phys. Rev. A 22, 2408 (1980)) in the semiquantal approximation for the processes referred to in the title is rewritten so as to make it more useful in practice. The formula is shown to be further simplified by taking an average over the azimuthal quantum number of a highly excited hydrogenic atom to be ionized. Numerical applications with use of the Glauber amplitude for the electron-atom inelastic scattering are made to the ionization collisions between two excited hydrogen atoms with simultaneous excitation and deexcitation of one of the atoms. The results are compared with those obtained by using the Born amplitude, and are analyzed in terms of the Glauber generalized oscillator strengths.
