On the possibility of electronic compression waves in heavy ion collisions

  • Published:
Zeitschrift für Physik A Atoms and Nuclei

Abstract

In the collision of heavy atoms compression waves in the atomic electron clouds are predicted. The bulk properties of electronic matter are estimated. Reaction cross sections for electron emission are calculated in a schematic model.
