Abstract
INTERPRETATION of kinetic-to-internal energy transfers in many-electron heavy particle ionizing collisions1,2 has demonstrated the importance of looking for possible large characteristic energy losses in electron scattering. Previous workers3–5 have studied levels < 100 eV. Most X-ray absorption studies6 do not use continuum sources but characteristic line sources. Heavy particle collision energy losses might arise not from diabatic curve crossing7 but from collective oscillation of electrons8.
