Charge-Overlap Effects on Electronic Transitions in Moderate-Energy K+–Ar and Cs+–Ar Collisions

Abstract

Excitation mechanisms in K+–Ar and Cs+–Ar collisions at moderate laboratory energies Elab = 0.05–2 keV are investigated by calculating repulsive potentials V(R) = 0.01–1 keV at distances R = 0.8–10...
