Abstract

Detailed theoretical analyses are presented of the projectile-energy dependence as well as the target dependence of the electron-detachment collision processes, H^-+T→H(n=2)+T*+e^-. These analyses are illustrated by calculations of both projectile-frame and laboratory-frame doubly differential cross sections (DDCS’s) for 0.5-, 1.0-, and 1.5-MeV H^- collisions with He targets and for 0.5-MeV H^- collisions with Ne, Ar, Kr, and Xe targets; in addition, we present laboratory frame DDCS’s for 0.1-MeV H^- collisions with Xe targets. Comparisons with available experimental data are given.
