Abstract
Studies the collision of a moving atom with a molecule initially at rest. Conditions for which the molecule receives a large kinetic energy (>or=5 eV) without being dissociated are sought in the case where the initial impulse and the molecular axis are parallel. A classical model and potential of Morse and Born-Mayer types are used. The application of the results to secondary emission of polyatomic particles shows that such collisions should explain the rather high energy of these polyatomic particles.Keywords
