Abstract
Cross sections for the single ionization of forming (1s) have been measured using () and projectiles. The energies of the () projectiles ranged from 80 to 3500 keV/amu. The energies of the projectiles ranged from 25 to 750 keV/amu. The results are compared with published data on the single ionization of helium by the same projectiles. For projectile energies above 200 keV/amu, the cross sections for the two targets differ by a factor of 2. Previously published measurements of the double-ionization cross sections of and helium are also compared. The cross section is smaller and falls off more rapidly with projectile velocity.
