Abstract
The (αe) time coincidence method is applied to study the low-energy electron spectrum of a copper target bombarded by α-particles of 238Pu. Ionization of atoms bombarded by charged particles is considered as the shaking of electrons into the continuous spectrum due to a sudden perturbation by a flying particle. A comparison of experimental and calculated distributions showed good agreement, which confirms the accuracy of the ionization description as a result of the shaking effect.
