Independent-atom-model coupled-channel calculations strengthen the case for interatomic Coulomb decay as a subdominant reaction channel in slow O${}^{3+}$-Ne${}_2$ collisions

Dyuman Bhattacharya, Tom Kirchner

We report on electron removal calculations for 2.81 keV/amu Li${}^{3+}$ and O${}^{3+}$ ion collisions with neon dimers. The target is described as two independent neon atoms fixed at t…
