In the beginning of this century only a limited number of experiments existed in the field of
inner-shell ionization by ion-atom collisions. This was mainly due to the absence of …

From 8th international conference on the physics of electronic and atomic collisions;
Belgrade, Yugoslavia (16 Jul 1973). A survey is given of recent work on inner-shell …

Electron emission following the ionization of projectile ions has been investigated
systematically in collisions with Ne q+ and Ar q+ ions at several hundred MeV incident on …

The available experimental and theoretical results on ion induced X-rays are briefly
surveyed. From experimental data it may be concluded that the mechanism for inner shell …

In 1913, Chadwick first described how alpha particles from radioactive sources could
produce characteristic x rays in various elemental atomic targets. It was soon understood …

In every nuclear reaction process when any target is bombarded by a heavy ion beam, not
only nuclear but also atomic processes are present/even at GeV impact energies; eg in ref. 1 …

1. Introduction and early experiments. When a target is bombarded by protons or heavier
ions, electrons are ejected from the atomic shells of the target atoms. If an impact removes …

Auger-electron production in collisions of slow Al+, Si+, P+, S+, Cl+, and Ar+ ions incident on
Ar and CH 4 targets has been investigated. Total cross sections for projectile L-shell, Ar L …

A fast ion projectile following a straight-line path, R=(B, 9') provides a time dependent
perturbation of an atom. During the collision, electrons on the target or projectile can be …

Publisher Summary The chapter surveys an important part of the continually growing field of
ion-atom collisions—namely, the investigations on electrons from these processes. The …
