Electron-impact single ionization is studied in the Si+ ion by considering transitions among energy levels. The study includes excitation-autoionization (EA) and collisional ionization processes. The excitations are investigated up to shells with the principal quantum numbers n ≤ 10. It is shown that correlation effects included in the EA calculations play a crucial role in explaining measurements. The correlation effects diminish the EA cross sections by ∼30% compared to single-configuration calculations. However, the collisional ionization is not significantly affected by an extension of the basis of interacting configurations. Good agreement between the presented level-to-level distorted wave data and experimental measurements is found for the single ionization of the Si+ ion.

We report triple differential cross-sections (TDCSs) for the electron impact single ionization of tungsten atoms for the ionization taking place from the outer sub shells of tungsten atoms, viz. W (6s), W (5d), W (5p) and W (4f). The study of the electron-induced processes such as ionization, excitation, autoionization from tungsten and its charged states is strongly required to diagnose and model the fusion plasma in magnetic devices such as Tokamaks. Particularly, the cross-section data are important to understand the electron spectroscopy involved in the fusion plasma. In the present study, we report TDCS results for the ionization of W atoms at 200, 500 and 1000 eV projectile energy at different values of scattered electron angles. It was observed that the trends of TDCSs for W (5d) are significantly different from the trends of TDCSs for W (6s), W (5p) and W (4f). It was further observed that the TDCS for W atoms has sensitive dependence on value of momentum transfer and projectile energy.

Recent experimental results for the multiple ionization of argon by positron impact have been reanalysed. Absolute cross sections for the double and triple ionization of argon were obtained from measured ratios of double-to-single and triple-to-single ionization, using known cross sections for single ionization and for positronium formation. Distinct differences compared to similar results for electron impact are noted.

Electron-impact single- and double-ionization cross sections and Maxwellian rate coefficients are presented for the carbon atom. Scaling factors are introduced for the electron-impact excitation and ionization cross sections obtained in the distorted wave (DW) approximation. It is shown that the scaled DW cross sections provide good agreement with measurements for the single ionization of the C atom and C1+ ion. The direct double-ionization (DDI) process is studied using a multi-step approach. Ionization–ionization, excitation–ionization–ionization, and ionization–excitation–ionization branches are analyzed. It is demonstrated that the three-step processes contribute ≼40% of the total DDI cross sections for the case where one of the electrons takes all of the excess energy after the first ionization process.

In the present investigation, the plane-wave Born approximation was employed to calculate the total ionization cross sections by electron impact of methanol, ethanol and 1-propanol from the threshold of ionization to 10 MeV. This method requires continuum generalized oscillator strengths (CGOSs). The two different semi-phenomenological expressions of CGOS, given by Mayol and Salvat and Weizsacker and Williams, along with approximated form of the continuum optical oscillator strength (COOS) by Khare et al. were used. Furthermore, the average of the above two CGOSs was also used. The calculated ionization cross sections were compared to the available previous theoretical results and experimental data. Out of three CGOSs, the present results with the average CGOS were found in good agreement with the available experimental results for all the considered molecules. Collision parameters CRP were also calculated from 0.1 to 100 MeV and the calculations were found to be in excellent agreement with the experimental results of Reike and Prepejchal.
