Resumen:
Thomas mechanism is theoretically shown to be present for the electron
capture to the continuum (ECC) processes in ion-atom ionizing
collisions. By focusing on the recoil-ion momentum distribution, a
prominent peak structure at 60°
from the backward direction is observed near the kinematical threshold.
This recoil-ion critical angle corresponds to the Thomas
double-scattering mechanism for electron capture. The theoretical
description of this ECC Thomas peak in ionization collisions requires
accounting for the interaction of the electron with both the projectile
and the residual target.
