Absolute cross sections for multielectron processes in low-energy Ar^q+-Ar collisions as measured with a new technique

Abstract

Using low-energy recoil ions produced by 110 MeV C4+ projectiles the authors have applied time-of-flight techniques to identify simultaneously q, r and s, measuring cross sections for the Arq++Ar to Arr++Ars++(r+s-q)e- reactions at 1.8 q keV. Cases with up to five electrons transferred were observed.
