Atomic Energy Aims and scope

Abstract

The orientation-averaged classical deflection function for scattering of UF5 + ions by N2 molecules is calculated in the collision energy range 2–10 keV, using additive interatomic potentials to calculate the anisotropic interaction of the molecular particles. The elastic scattering cross sections are calculated for ions and the interaction potential of the colliding particles is reconstructed using the Firsov method based on classical mechanics.

The results obtained are recommended for determining the isotopic sensitivity of mass spectrometers to be used for analysis of uranium compounds.
