      A crossed electron–ion beam experimental set-up has been upgraded for the study of electron impact ionization and dissociation of molecular ions by means of ionic product detection. Both the experimental set-up and the data analysis procedures are described in detail for the estimation of (i) absolute cross sections, (ii) kinetic energy release distributions (KERD) and (iii) anisotropies of angular ...
    • CRP on Atomic and Molecular Data for Plasma Modelling Volume 16Peer reviewedOpen access 

      2014, LECOINTRE, Julien, HENALLUX
      Article scientifique
      This publication, arising from a Coordinated Research Project on Atomic and Molecular Data for Plasma Modelling, provides information on new data relevant to the edge region of plasmas in nuclear fusion energy devices. In this region, molecules and molecular ions are formed and react with electrons and with each other and fusion plasma modelling requires cross-sections and rate coefficients for such ...

      Article scientifique
      Mutual neutralization in the collisions of H+ and H− is studied both theoretically and experimentally. The quantum-mechanical ab initio model includes covalent states associated with the H(1)+H(n 3) limits and the collision energy ranges from 1 meV to 100 eV. The reaction is theoretically studied for collisions between different isotopes of the hydrogen ions. From the partial wave scattering ...
    • Diffusion in Phase Space as a Tool to Assess Variability of Vertical Centre-of-Mass Motion during Long-Range WalkingPeer reviewedOpen access 

      06 février 2023, Boulanger, Nicolas; BUISSERET, Fabien; Dehouck, Victor; DIERICK, Frédéric; White, Olivier, CeREF SantéCeREF Technique
      Article scientifique
      When a Hamiltonian system undergoes a stochastic, time-dependent anharmonic perturbation, the values of its adiabatic invariants as a function of time follow a distribution whose shape obeys a Fokker–Planck equation. The effective dynamics of the body’s centre-of-mass during human walking is expected to represent such a stochastically perturbed dynamical system. By studying, in phase space, the ...
