Journal ArticleDOI
Absolute partial cross sections for electron-impact ionization of H2, N2, and O2 from threshold to 1000 eV
TL;DR: In this paper, absolute partial cross-sections from threshold to 1000 eV are reported for electron-impact ionization of ionized particles, and the overall uncertainty in the absolute cross-section values for singly charged parent ions is 3.5% and is marginally higher for fragment ions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Absolute partial and total cross sections for electron-impact ionization of argon from threshold to 1000 eV.
TL;DR: These results are obtained with an apparatus incorporating a time-of-flight mass spectrometer with position-sensitive detection of the product ions, believed to yield more reliable results than those previously reported.
Journal ArticleDOI
Absolute and angular efficiencies of a microchannel-plate position-sensitive detector
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a characterization of a commercially available position-sensitive detector of energetic ions and neutrals, which consists of two microchannel plates followed by a resistive position-encoding anode.
Journal ArticleDOI
Absolute detection efficiency of a microchannel plate detector for kilo-electron volt energy ions
TL;DR: In this article, the absolute detection efficiency of a commercial microchannel plate detector for kilo-electron volt energy ions was analyzed and it was found that when the detector is appropriately biased and the ion impact energy is sufficiently high, ions with masses up to 131 amu are detected with equal efficiency and that this efficiency may remain constant over a period of years.
Journal ArticleDOI
Charge transfer in H + -H and H + -D collisions within the energy range 0.1-150 eV
TL;DR: In this article, the absolute charge transfer cross sections for collisions of protons with hydrogen and deuterium atoms have been measured within the energy range 0.1 to 150 eV using the merging-beams technique.
