Excitation of two interacting electrons as a plasmon-decay mechanism in proton-aluminum collisions

Plasmon decay in aluminum-proton collisions was investigated using the excitation of two interacting electrons. It was observed that plasmon excitation and decay rates are similar to each other. It was also observed that in certain energy regions it could be identified if an electron was excited by...

Sumario:Plasmon decay in aluminum-proton collisions was investigated using the excitation of two interacting electrons. It was observed that plasmon excitation and decay rates are similar to each other. It was also observed that in certain energy regions it could be identified if an electron was excited by decay of plasmon or not. The results show that most low energy electrons traveling in the forward direction had been excited by 2e mechanism for plasmon decay.
