Abstract

Energy distribution curves of true secondary electrons emitted from a massive gold target have been measured for incident H +, H + 2, H + 3 and He + ions of high energy. A comparison of the spectra induced by the one and two electron systems H + 2, H + 3 and He + with those for proton impact reveals characteristic differences which are explained by the role of the projectile electron(s) in binary collisions: either by screening the nuclear charges of the projectile in distant collisions or by additional electron production as a result of electron loss from the projectile.
