Summary
Collisions between ions belong to the elementary processes occurring in all types of plasmas in astrophysical objects as well as in laboratory discharges. In recent years, the impetus for accurate cross section data for such collisions has become greater due to research in thermonuclear fusion using either magnetic or inertial confinement.
Compared with ion-atom collisions, experimental investigations of ion-ion collisions are quite scarce since the ion beams are very tenuous due to the mutual repulsion within both the projectile and the target ion beams. Nevertheless, modern crossed-beam experiments overcome these difficulties and give a detailed insight into a variety of ion-ion collisions at keV collision energies.
In this chapter, experimental techniques relevant to modern crossed-beam experiments will be discussed. A survey will be given of a variety of collisions. For light ions, where only one or two electrons are present besides the two nuclei, theoretical and experimental results can be compared. In the case of heavy and multiply charged ions, however, data are rare but recent progress will be reviewed.
