Neq + (q = 1,2,3,4) ionization and charge exchange cross sections (total electron capture, single electron capture and transfer ionization) in the collisions with Li3+, with energies between 100 and 900 keV amu−1, and C3+, with energies between 250 and 500 keV amu−1 are reported. Bare Li3+ projectiles give a key benchmark to study the role of projectile screening in collisions involving dressed projectile ions, and the measurements have shown a strong screening effect for all n-fold recoil ion charge states in the ionization channel which, unexpectedly, does not appear for transfer ionization.
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.
