Abstract

Forward‐going continuum electron emission has been investigated in 0.4–2 MeV/u O7+ and O8++He collisions. The one and two‐electron processes of electron capture to the continuum (ECC), electron loss to the continuum (ELC), and transfer ionization (TI) have been separated by detecting cusp electrons in coincidence with the outgoing charge states of the projectile ions. The data are compared to earlier results of Zhu et al. for the O7++Ar collision system [1]. The relative importance of the different contributions to forward electron emission and the role of the electron‐electron interaction are discussed. The relationships of these results to recent studies of radiative‐electron‐capture‐to‐the continuum (RECC) are discussed.
