Low-energy proton-hydrogenlike-ion scattering in the Coulomb-Born approximation

L-shell ionisation in very asymmetric ion-atom collisions

“…For such slow collisions, it is well known that the SCA results must be corrected for the energy loss of the projectile, AE, in order to agree with the quantal distorted-wave Born approximation (Bang and Hansteen 1959, Potter and Macek 1979. This correction consists in taking the minimum momentum transfer, q, equal to its exact value…”

Excitation of K-shell electrons intons states by the impact of charged particles

“…Investigations of the excitation processes of atomic targets by the impact of charged particles are of fundamental importance. Over the last few decades, the problem has been intensively investigated within the framework of different theoretical approaches (see, for example, [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11] and references therein). The deduction of the universal scaling behaviour of the differential and total cross sections is of particular interest because it allows one to establish the most generic features of the excitation processes for a wide family of atomic systems.…”
