Abstract
The electron-impact single-ionization cross section of ${\mathrm{Ar}}^{7+}$ has been measured from 18 to 1186 eV using a crossed-beams technique. The present results are higher than previous measurements at the higher energies and are in good agreement with recent distorted-wave calculations that include contributions from excitation autoionization. Below the threshold for direct ionization at 144 eV, the cross section contains contributions due to space-charge modulation and excitation of metastable ions in the target beam into autoionizing states. These transitions are predominantly spin allowed and dipole forbidden. Scaling laws for sodiumlike ions are discussed.
