KINEMATICS OF ATOMIC CHARGE-TRANSFER COLLISIONS

Abstract

The relationship between the angles of emission and the energy of the slow secondary ion emitted in the reaction A(+) + B yields A + B(+) + delta E is calculated for a number of collisions between various inert gases, hydrogen, nitrogen, and oxygen. The calculations are carried out for several incident ion energies and for many of the excited states of the incident and resulting system which appear experimentally resolvable. Two types of targets are considered: a stationary gas, and a gas curtain with a Maxwellian speed distribution. Machine calculations were performed for 25 reactions, several incident ion energies (including isotope effects) and several excited states in each case.
