Ionisation by Positive Ions

Ionisation of Helium by Multiply Charged Ions at Intermediate and High Energies

In the present work we study the single ionisation of Helium by c6+ and 08+ ions at intermediate and high impact energies. Calculations of double differential, single differential and total cross sections with the Continuum Distorted Wave-Eikonal Initial State model are presented. These results are compared with the experimental and theoretical results available.

Radial ionisation distribution of heavy ions: Experimental results with OPAC and comparison with TRAX

The difference in the relative biological efficiency (RBE) of ions of same linear energy transfer (LET) but different atomic number (Z) can be attributed to the difference in the radial ionisation distribution. We have performed systematic measurements of the spatial ionisation pattern of heavy ions of various Z but similar LET at GSI. The results are compared with track structure data obtained...

Direct Identification of Bacteria in Positive Blood Culture Bottles by Matrix-Assisted Laser Desorption Ionisation Time-of-Flight Mass Spectrometry

BACKGROUND With long delays observed between sampling and availability of results, the usefulness of blood cultures in the context of emergency infectious diseases has recently been questioned. Among methods that allow quicker bacterial identification from growing colonies, matrix-assisted laser desorption ionisation time-of-flight (MALDI-TOF) mass spectrometry was demonstrated to accurately id...
