Binary encounter approximation has been used for theoretical calculations of alpha particle (He2+) impact single ionization cross sections of iron atom at ground state in the energy range of 35 to 360 keV/amu. The cross sections for energy transfer given by Vriens’ and quantum mechanical Hartree-Fock velocity distributions for target electron have been used in the calculation. The contributions in total single ionization cross sections from 4s and 3d subshells are observed to be higher than from 3p, and the contributions from 4s decreases with increase of impact energy whereas the contribution from 3d increases. The total single ionization cross sections decrease gradually with the increase of impact energy similar to experimental results which implies that our results are in satisfactory agreement with the experimental data in the given energy range.

Recently published data for impact of antiprotons in the energy range 30–1000 keV on atomic hydrogen are compared with analogous proton, electron, and positron measurements, and it is found that the ionization cross sections of atomic hydrogen follow the same pattern as similar cross sections obtained on He and H2 targets, in accordance with the general phenomenological description of single ionization that has developed over the last decade. Further comparisons are made with various recent and advanced theoretical calculations for antiproton ionization of atomic hydrogen. These theoretical results agree well with the data obtained, but for lower impact energies the different methods do not, despite the simplicity of the system, agree on predicting even the form of the cross section.


The quantal theory of the continuous photo-electric absorption of radiation is briefly summarized, pàrticular attention being given to the alternative formulae available and to the accuracy to be expected in practical calculations. Detailed calculations are described for the photo-ionization cross-section of neon, a system for which it is understood that experimental data should be available in the near future. The calculation is made using Hartree-Fock wave functions and the two formulae of the dipole length and the dipole velocity. The corresponding cross-sections are found to be 5.8 and 4.4 x 10- 18 cm 2 . at the spectral head and to rise slowly with increasing frequency until a broad maximum is reached for an energy of the ejected electron of about 11 eV. A comparison is made with previous calculations on the elements from boron to neon ; the general trend of the results is discussed and improved estimates for boron and fluorine are given (10 x 10 -18 cm 2 . for boron and 4.3 x 10- 18 cm 2 . for fluorine at the spectral head).

Calculation of electron impact total and ionization cross sections for Sr, Y, Ru, Pd, and Ag atoms were performed using spherical complex optical potential and complex scattering potential-ionization contribution methods. The complex optical potential model is formulated from the target parameters and the atomic charge density. The spherical charge densities are in turn derived from the Roothaan–Hartree–Fock wavefunctions defining the atomic orbital of the target. In the present study cross sections are computed in the energy range from ionization threshold to 2000 eV. The results obtained are compared with other theories and measurements wherever available and were found to be quite consistent and uniform. In general, present data show an overall reasonable agreement with other results. Dependence of total cross sections on the number of target electrons and peak of ionization cross section on target parameters were also found to be consistent with previous observations.

Electron impact ionization of He, Ne, Ar, Kr and Xe has been studied with a double focussing mass spectrometer Varian MAT CH5. Ratios of various multiple ionization cross sections with respect to single ionization cross sections for He, Ne, Ar, Kr and Xe at electron energies of 50, 100 and 150eV are given. These cross section ratios are com­pared with previous determinations.
