Absolute cross sections for electron-impact ionization of the rare-gas atoms by the fast-neutral-beam method

Wetzel, Robert C., Baiocchi, Frank A., Hayes, Todd R., Freund, Robert S.·1987·Physical Review A

Abstract

A new apparatus has been constructed for the measurement of absolute partial electron-impact-ionization cross sections of neutral atoms, molecules, and free radicals. A fast neutral beam is prepared by charge-transfer neutralization of a mass-selected ion beam and is ionized as it crosses an electron beam. From careful analysis of the apparatus, the absolute accuracy of measured cross sections is calculated to be \ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}12%. Combined with statistical errors, this gives about \ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}15% for the overall accuracy. Measurements of ionization cross sections for the four rare gases He, Ne, Ar, and Kr from 0 to 200 eV agree with the most reliable previous values within \ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}6%. The measured Xe ionization cross section is 12% greater than the previous best value. Ratios of double- and triple-ionization to single-ionization cross sections for Ar, Kr, and Xe confirm the recent measurements of Stephan, Helm, and M\"ark [J. Chem. Phys. 73, 3763 (1980)].

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
