Electron-loss-to-continuum cusp in collisions of U${}^{89+}$ with N${}_2$ and Xe

P. -M. Hillenbrand, K. N. Lyashchenko, S. Hagmann +24

We study the electron-loss-to-continuum (ELC) cusp experimentally and theoretically by comparing the ionization of U${}^{89+}$ projectiles in collisions with N${}_2$ and Xe targets, at…
