Antiproton, proton and electron impact multiple ionization of rare gases

We present a study on multiple ionization of Ne, Ar, Kr and Xe by antiproton, proton and electron impact. Four different aspects are involved in this work. First, the theoretical calculations of ionization probabilities by impact of antiprotons and protons, in an extended energy region (25 keV to 10...
