Phys. Rev. A 56, 395–402 (1997)Adiabatic theory for binary-encounter-electron emissionReceived 21 October 1996; published in the issue dated July 1997 The electron-impact approximation for the ejection of target electrons by heavy, highly charged projectiles is modified in order to allow for a distortion of the initial state by the heavy perturber. Model calculations for ionization of H2 by 0.5–0.6 MeV/amu Cu5+ impact show that the binary-encounter peak is considerably broadened when distortion effects are included. In general, this leads to a better agreement of the peak shape with experimental data than the conventional binary-encounter model. © 1997 The American Physical Society URL:
