A technique for electron spectroscopy which yields full two-dimensional momentum distributions for continuum electrons has been used to study ejected electrons from single ionization of He by C 6ϩ and proton projectiles at low velocities. Projectile velocities of 1.63, 1.38, and 1.16 a.u. for C 6ϩ and 2.39, 1.71, 1.15, .85, and 0.63 a.u. for protons were used. All spectra show much broader distributions along the beam than transverse to the beam. For the case of proton bombardment, the spectra are strongly influenced by both target and projectile potentials, maximizing near the velocity of the saddle in the potential between the two receding ion cores for the lowest projectile velocities. For C 6ϩ projectiles, the spectra appear to be dominated by the projectile potential and the center of the distribution is strongly shifted toward the projectile velocity. Theoretical results from the continuum-distorted-wave-eikonal-initial-state and classical-trajectory-Monte Carlo methods are in rather good agreement with the proton data but do not agree well with the C 6ϩ data.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
