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.

Low current, low pressure, steady state Townsend discharges in helium and neon gas have been investigated using the photon flux technique. Such discharges have been found to exhibit spatial non-uniformity resulting in luminous layers throughout the discharge. The separation and structure of these layers has been investigated experimentally in both gases along with the wavelength distribution of the photon flux. A Monte Carlo simulation of the discharge in neon has been used to gain information on the cross sections necessary to describe these discharges. It is found that direct excitaton of ground state atoms to the resonance level of each gas is less than indicated by some published cross section data.

Using a simple approximation for the theoretical atomic interaction constants cross section data for level crossing and Hanle-effect line broadening experiments in Rb, Mg+ and Ca+ rare gas systems could be derived. It is shown that in the Rb system the interaction C6R-6 is predominant and that the results are little influenced by dipole-quadrupole and repulsive interactions in the frame work of the Lindholm-Foley-Hindmarsh theory.
