Transfer ionization process p+He -> H-0+He2++e(-) with the ejected electron detected in the plane perpendicular to the incident beam direction

A joint experimental and theoretical study of the transfer ionization process p+He→ H-0+He2++e(-) is presented for 630-keV proton impact energy, where the electron is detected in a plane perpendicular to the proton beam direction. With this choice of kinematics we find the triple-differential cross section to be particularly sensitive to angular correlation in the helium target. There is a good agreement between the experimental data and theoretical calculations.

Revealing the effect of angular correlation in the ground-state He wavefunction: a coincidence study of the transfer ionization process

A joint theoretical-experimental study of the transfer ionization process p + He -> H-0 + He2+ + e(-) is presented. For the first time all particles in the final state have been detected in triple coincidence. This fully differential measurement is in good agreement with a theoretical model where the target is described by a wavefunction containing both radial and angular correlation terms.

Ionization of atomic hydrogen and He+ by slow antiprotons

We study the ionization of H(1s), He+(1s) and He+(2s) by antiprotons in the energy range from 0.1 to 500 keV. We adopt a semiclassical single centre close-coupling approach in which the wavefunction for the electron is expanded in a B-spline basis centred on the nucleus of the atom/ion. Comparison is made with existing theoretical calculations and available experimental data. The results are encouraging.

Fully differential cross sections for 3.6 MeV u(-1) AuZp++He collisions

Recent experimental data for fully differential cross sections have been compared to various continuum-distorted-wave eikonal-initial-state models without much success, despite good agreement with double-differential cross sections. A four-body model is formulated here and results are presented both when the internuclear potential is omitted and when it is included. They are compared with recent experimental data for fully differential cross sections for 3.6 MeV/u Au-P(Z)++He collisions, Z(P)=24,53.
