Abstract

Electron angular distributions provide a sensitive probe of ionization mechanisms in ion-atom collisions. At high energy, two broad classes of mechanisms, namely, single collision and double collision mechanisms, operate. The former produce electrons in the binary encounter peak while the latter are pertinant everywhere else in the electron energy and angular distributions. Low energy electrons, cusp electrons, and ridge electrons all manifest some aspects of double collision mechanisms.
