Collisional Electron Detachment ofH−: A Complete Angular Distribution

Abstract
The doubly differential cross section resulting from electron loss of 0.5-MeV H ions in collisions with Ar were measured from 0° to 173°. The singly differential cross section (SDCS), angular distribution, for the vevi group was integrated over solid angle and normalized to the known total electron-loss cross section. This SDCS was found to be dissimilar to that predicted by an electron scattering model previously used to describe projectile ionization. However, the SDCS was found to resemble, with some notable differences, the elastic scattering of electrons from Ar.
