Abstract

Among the many processes that occur when fast particles interact with target atoms there is the interesting case where the projectile captures target electrons, not necessarily into well-defined bound states, but into slightly unbound continuum states [1]. The net result is that one or more target electrons leave the target with speeds and directions that are nearly coincident with that of the bombarding projectile, but are not bound to the projectile. Present theories inadequately describe single and multiple capture processes to either bound or unbound states in the medium-velocity range.
