Charge Exchange Reactions

Abstract

The processes wherein the charges on two colliding particles are altered and the experimental methods used to study these processes are reported. In the high energy range, a comparison is made be tween the equilibrium beam method of determining neutralization and stripping cross sections and the slow ion detection methods used to study charge transfer. Thermal energy reactions which have been studied using afterglow mass spectrometers are reviewed and the results of various laboratories are compared. After summarizing outstanding problems pertaining to charge exchange reactions, some consideration is given to the effects of these reactions in other mass spectrometer applications.
