Shaking during Ion-Atom Collisions

Atomic Physics 2023-07-19 v1

Abstract

Shaking (shakeup + shakeoff) probabilities accompanying ion-atom collisions are studied using hydrogenic wavefunctions for K-, L-, M- shell electrons in the sudden approximation limit. The role of recoil velocity in the shaking processes is discussed. Further, it is found that the suddenness of collision between projectile and target nuclei plays a major factor in shaking of respective atomic system than the recoil of nuclei.
