Simple estimation of atom ionisation cross sections by a fast multicharged ion

Abstract

In terms of illustrative physical representations of the collision between a fast multicharged ion and a hydrogen or helium atom, a simple method for estimating ionisation cross sections in the range of velocities 1<<Z112<or approximately= nu <or approximately=Z is proposed.
