Ionization-excitation of H− and He by Compton scattering
نویسندگان
چکیده
We report calculations for exclusive ionization-excitation Compton cross sections, both total and differential in energy transfer, for n = 3–5 of the negative hydrogen ion and the helium atom. We find that, unlike the cross section for n = 1 and 2, the exclusive cross sections for n 3 are not very sensitive to atomic parameters such as geometric size and electron correlation. We discuss differences and similarities of the cross sections when different initial-state wavefunctions are used, and compare with the Compton cross section for collision of a photon with a free electron. Our calculations have been carried out for photon energies from 6 to 60 keV.

Exclusive and inclusive cross sections for Compton scattering from H and He
Absolute inclusive and exclusive cross sections for ionization of H and He by Compton scattering are presented and analyzed. The exclusive cross section for ionization of one electron, leaving the second electron in the ground state, is 20% smaller for H than for He. Furthermore, the exclusive cross section for ionization with excitation to the first excited state is seven times larger for H th...

In the present work, the total cross-section for the ionization of H, He, Ne and Ar atoms by +He2+ ، H+ ، Li3 ions has been calculated. In these calculations, a binary encounter approximation in the form of a two-body process between projectile ions and atomic electrons at the high energy range has been implemented. In order to enter the nuclear role of the target atom, the atomic electron vel...
متن کاملDouble ionization of Li-like ions by high-energy photons
The processes of double ionization by absorption or inelastic (Compton) scattering of a photon from atomic systems are of fundamental interest. This is due to the fact that the two-electron emission is exclusively caused by the electron-electron interaction, the accurate treatment of which is still one of the main tasks for different theoretical approaches. As a target, it is usual to use the n...

متن کاملDetermining the accuracy of measuring the thickness of steel plates using Compton scattering method
When there is limitation access to one side of the structure in industry, one of the best methods for thickness measurements is the Compton scattering. In this paper, due to the statistical behavior of dispersed beam counting, we discuss the accuracy of the measurement for steel thickness. Using the experimental method and comparing it with MCNP simulation code, the accuracy is obtained less th...
