Abstract
Electron-impact ionization of ions is one of the most fundamental processes in every kind of plasma. Especially in high-temperature plasmas-whether in laboratory (nuclear fusion) or in astrophysics (atmosphere of stars)-atoms become ionized into multiply-charged ions by electron impact. The main purpose of our investigations is to unravel the contributions from different ionization mechanisms-like direct ionization (one-step process), excitation-autoionization (two-step process) and...
