Inner-shell ionization created by fluorine ions in nearly symmetric collisions

  • Published:
Zeitschrift für Physik A Atoms and Nuclei

Abstract

We have measured projectile and target X-ray cross sections for F + Si, S, Ar and Kr collisions at projectile energies from 1 to 25 MeV. The experiments were performed under single collision conditions using a differentially pumped gas target. X-rays were measured by a Si(Li) detector and a proportional counter. The experimental cross sections are compared to predictions of theoretical models for direct and quasi-molecular ionization. Effects of multiple ionization that influence theK-shell fluorescence yields were examined using experimental information from line energy shifts and intensity ratios.
