The absolute electron capture cross sections for single and double charge exchanges between the highly charged ions O6+ and CO2, CH4, H2, N2, the dominant collision processes in the solar wind, have been measured in the energy from 7 keV*q (2.63 keV/u) to 52 keV*q (19.5 keV/u). These measurements were carried out in the new experimental instrument set up at Fudan University, and the error of cross sections for single and double charge exchanges at the 1{sigma} confidence level are about 11% and 16%, respectively. Limited agreement is achieved with single electron capture results calculated by the classical over-barrier model. These cross sections data are useful for simulation ion-neutral processes in astrophysical environments and to improve the present theoretical model of fundamental atomic processes.

Using the COLTRIMStechnique, scattering angle differential cross sections for single and double electron capture in collisions of protons and $Hesp{1,2+}$ projectiles with helium atoms for incident energies of $60-630 keV/u$ are measured. We also report new theoretical results obtained by means of four-body one-channel distorted wave models (CDW-BFS, CDW-BIS and BDW), and find mixed agreement with the measured data.
In the recent years, the hydrofluoroolefine HFO1234ze(E) (C3H2F4) has been subject to a growing interest for refrigerant applications. This novel gas is also considered a promising alternative in gaseous particle detectors and gaseous voltage insulation devices, thanks to its low global warming potential. In this contribution, measurements of electron transport coefficients and reaction rates in C3H2F4 are analyzed by an iterative procedure. A complete set of scattering cross sections for electrons in C3H2F4 has been obtained and validated by a systematic comparison of electron swarm parameters with experimental measurements in pure C3H2F4 as well as in gas mixtures of C3H2F4/CO2. Since the electron attachment of C3H2F4 is strongly influenced by the gas density, accurate calculations of the critical electric field strength in such mixtures are also reported in this paper.
We report measurements of electron-impact excitation cross sections for the strong K-shell n=2-1 transitions in S XV using the LLNL EBIT-I electron beam ion trap, two crystal spectrometers, and the EBIT Calorimeter Spectrometer. The cross sections are determined by direct normalization to the well known cross sections of radiative electron capture, measured simultaneously. Using contemporaneous polarization measurements with the two crystal spectrometers, whose dispersion planes are oriented parallel and perpendicular to the electron beam direction, the polarization of the direct excitation line emission is determined, and in turn the isotropic total cross sections are extracted. We further experimentally investigate various line-formation mechanisms, finding that radiative cascades and collisional inner-shell ionization dominate the degree of linear polarization and total line-emission cross sections of the forbidden line $z$.
The photon-ion merged-beams technique has been employed at the new Photon-Ion spectrometer at PETRA III (PIPE) for measuring multiple photoionization of Xe$^{q+}$ (q=1-5) ions. Total ionization cross sections have been obtained on an absolute scale for the dominant ionization reactions of the type h u + Xe$^{q+}$ $to$ Xe$^{r+}$ + (q-r) e$^-$ with product charge states q+2 $le$ r $le$ q+5. Prominent ionization features are observed in the photon-energy range 650-750 eV, which are associated with excitation or ionization of an inner-shell 3d electron. Single-configuration Dirac-Fock calculations agree quantitatively with the experimental cross sections for non-resonant photoabsorption, but fail to reproduce all details of the measured ionization resonance structures.
Aims. Determination of K- and L-shell cross sections of the carbon atom and ions using the modified relativistic binary encounter Bethe (MRBEB) method, a simple analytical scheme based on one atomic parameter that allows determining electron-impact ionization cross sections. The quality of the cross sections calculated with the MRBEB method is shown through: (i) comparison with those obtained with the general ionization processes in the presence of electrons and radiation (GIPPER) code and the flexible atomic code (FAC), and (ii) determination of their effects on the ionic structure and cooling of an optically thin plasma. Results. The three sets of cross sections show deviations among each other in different energy regions. The largest deviations occur near and in the peak maximum. Ion fractions and plasma emissivities of an optically thin plasma that evolves under collisional ionization equilibrium, derived using each set of cross sections, show deviations that decrease with increase in temperature and ionization degree. In spite of these differences, the calculations using the three sets of cross sections agree overall. Conclusions. A simple model like the MRBEB is capable of providing cross sections similar to those calculated with more sophisticated quantum mechanical methods in the GIPPER and FAC codes.
