Abstract
Collisional ionization of Cs and K atoms by O2 has been studied in a crossed beam geometry from threshold to ∼100 eV alkali laboratory system energy. The energy spectra of forward directed positive (Cs+ and K+) and negative (O- and O-2) ions were measured by electrostatic energy analysis. The dominant O 2- negative ion is associated with forward scattering of the alkali positive ion in the center-of-mass system but O- production appears associated with backward scattering of the alkali ion.
