Electron-Impact Ionization of Ar6+

Electron-impact ionization cross sections for Ar⁶⁺. Uncertainties are typical relative uncertainties, which combine one standard deviation on counting statistics with uncertainties in the form factor. Total uncertainty for a typical point near the peak cross section is ±8% at 90% confidence level. Reference: A. M. Howald et al., Phys. Rev. A 33, 3779 (1986).
