Hyperthermal collision processes

For review of the surface-induced dissociation method applied to polyatomic ions, see Cooks, R. C. Ast, T. Mabud, Md. A. Ini. J. Mass Sptcirom. Ion Processts, in press. For a recent comprehensive review of niolecule-surracc hyperthermal collision processes and scattering, see Amirav, A. Comments Al. Mol. Phys., invited review, in press. 

At collision energies below 20 eV, reactive collisions leading to metal compounds or metal compound ions may play an important role. Such processes represent potential sources and sinks for metal atoms or ions. By far the most important reactive processes to be considered in rarefied (only two-body processes) upper atmospheric conditions at hyperthermal energies are collisions involving molecular and atomic oxygen ...
