Capture of cooling electrons by cool protons

  • 1. European Organization for Nuclear Research, Geneva (Switzerland)

Description

Simplified formulae for the capture of low-energy electrons by stationary protons are averaged over Maxwellian and 'flattened' Maxwellian electron velocity distributions. The latter distribution is more nearly appropriate for electron beams used in accelerator proton-beam cooling experiments. Flattening increases the capture rate by a factor of about two. Similar formulae for the capture of antiprotons by protons are mentioned. (author)
