Multiple ionization cross-sections of rare gas atoms by impact of highly charged particles at 35 MeV/a.m.u.

Abstract
Production of multiply charged recoil ions by impact of swift highly charged projectiles is investigated. The first Born Plane Wave Approximation employed in the framework of the independent electron model (IEM) provides reasonable cross-sections for multiple ionization of rare gases by Krq+ (q ∼ 30) at 35 MeV/amu, which is a typical ion beam on the LISE ( 1) line at GANIL. Contribution of capture is investigated in the case of helium target
