Cross sections for production of positive and negative charge for 10-300-keV/u ~e ' + ions on He, Ne, Ar, Kr, Hz, N2, CO, 02, CH4, N20, and C02 were measured by the transverse-field method. Single-and double-electron-capture cross sections at 5-150 keV/u for the same targets were measured by the method of deflection of different charge-state components of the beam after passing through a known length of target gas. A secondary-emission detector was used to detect the neutral component of the beam. A small least-squares adjustment of the cross sections was made to satisfy the equation u+ =a-+u2, +2uZ0 which follows from conservation of charge.
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.
