Cross Sections: Charge Exchange
Below are listed available measurements of charge exchange cross sections with emphasis on those cross sections of interest in Saturn's magnetosphere. These are listed the following order: ordered by the target with atomic targets first increasing in Z and then molecular targets. The incident ions are in order of increasing Z.
The energy is the laboratory energy with the target particle having no kinetic energy. If we have fits, they are given after each data set.
