Ne++C60: Collision energy and impact parameter dependence for endohedral complex formation, fragmentation, and charge transfer.

We report measurements of C60-2nNe+ and C+60-2n formation in collisions of Ne+ with C60 over a range from 2–212 eV (CM). Activation energies and crude angular information are given for each channel. Endohedral complex formation and fragmentation both require low impact parameter collisions, while charge transfer can occur with larger impact parameters as well. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
