An experimental study of charge transfer and ionisation in Cs+-Cs+ collisions
Cross sections for Cs2+ production from the combined processes of charge transfer and ionisation in Cs+-Cs+ collisions have been determined at centre-of-mass energies between 40 and 280 keV using an intersecting-beam technique previously developed in this laboratory. Measured cross sections are at least 1.5*10-16 cm2 and the results are directly relevant to proposed schemes for heavy-ion fusion.
Classical contact transformation theory is reconstructed from the concept of explicit rather than implicit transformation equations. This proves the existence of contact transformations from any given Hamiltonian to any prescribed Hamiltonian (with the same number of degrees of freedom).
