A Statistical Model for Collisions of Multiple Electron Transfer

Abstract

Referring to the observed single- to penta-electron transfer cross sections for Kr^q+ (q=2∼9) ions on various gas targets, a model is presented that projectile ion captures electrons from an electron cloud of target particle through a statistical way. This is closely related with the classical one electron model.
A representative comparison is shown between the experiment and the present model for Kr^q+–Kr collisions at 24 keV impact energy.
