Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The systematics of differential ionization cross sections are explored for incident charged particles which possess atomic structure. Although little has been published regarding outer shell ionization by structured projectiles, sufficient data are becoming available to provide some insight into the collision process. This discussion concentrates on systematics of emission cross sections for the intermediate and high energy projectiles where the applicability of high energy approximations can be tested and the dramatic changes in emission spectra observed as the projectile energies decrease. Since heavy ion interactions are important in many research fields, it is particularly useful to determine where simple methods of cross section scaling may be appropriate.
