Electron-Impact Single Ionization of C3+


Ionization Cross Section vs. Energy for C3+ Legend:
Circles - ORNL data (1984)
Squares - ORNL data (1979)
Lower solid line (red) - Scaled Coulomb-Born direct (ground state)
Upper solid line (purple) - SCB direct + EA (ground state)
Dashed line (green) - Lotz formula (ground state)

Reference: A. M. Howald and D. C. Gregory, unpublished (1984).

Absolute uncertainty: 10% typical near peak of cross section

Estimated metastable fraction of target ions: <1%
