Our previous differential cross section measurements on argon were extended to impact energies of 120 eV and krypton was used as an alternative target gas. Some distinctive features were observed in the cross sections of the transfer and transfer-ionization reaction channel which await a theoretical explanation. The narrow feature at 45 • , observed for the transfer-ionization reaction Ar(e + , Ps e − )Ar 2+ at 75 eV, does not persist at 90 eV and could not be observed with krypton. Therefore, a connection to Thomas scattering (45 • is the Thomas angle for Ps formation) is not supported.
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.
