Total, partial, and electron-capture cross sections for ionization of water vapor by 20-150 keV protons.

چکیده
We present experimental results for proton ionization of water molecules based on a novel event by event analysis of the different ions produced (and lost). We are able to obtain mass analyzed product ion signals (e.g., H2O+, OH+, O+, O++, H+) in coincidence with the projectile analyzed after the collision, i.e., either being H+, neutral H after single electron capture during the ionization event, or H- after double electron capture. After proper calibration we are thus able to determine a complete set of cross sections for the ionization of a molecular target by protons including the total and the partial cross sections and in addition also the direct ionization and the electron capture cross sections.

Total and differential cross sections for medium-energy H + C2H2 collisions
Total and/or differential cross sections for single electron capture, single ionization, double ionization, and electron capture plus ionization have been measured for collisions of protons at energies of 6, 12.5, 25, and 50 keV with C2H2 molecules. Two-dimensional position-sensitive detectors were used for both the projectile and recoil particle detection. Coincidences between the recoil time-...
متن کاملDissociation of N2 in capture and ionization collisions with fast H + and N ions and modeling of positive ion formation in the Titan atmosphere
[1] Electron capture and ionization cross sections for protons and nitrogen ions incident on N2 are measured in the energy range 10–100 keV using time of flight (TOF) coincidence counting techniques. In the case of proton impact the formation of N2 + ions dominates for both electron capture and ionization channels at all energies, whereas for N ions, the N2 + formation dominates for electron ca...

Total, Partial, and Differential Ionization Cross Sections in Proton–Hydrogen Atom Collisions in the Energy Region of 0.1–10 keVÕu
Single-differential, partial, and total ionization cross sections for the proton–hydrogen atom collision system in the energy region of 0.1–10 keV/u are determined by using the molecular-orbital close-coupling method within a semiclassical formalism. The present cross sections are in an excellent agreement with the recent experiments of Shah et al. @J. Phys. B. 31, L757 ~1998!#, but decrease mo...
