摘要
To improve the physical completeness of the data previously calculated (Schultz et al., 2017) to enable modeling of the effects of secondary electrons produced by energetic ion precipitation at Jupiter, we extend the treatment to include inelastic processes that occur simultaneously on the projectile (Oq+, q = 0-8)) and target (H-2). Here, processes considered in the previous work (single and double ionization, transfer ionization, double capture with subsequent autoionization, single and double stripping, single and double charge transfer, and target excitation) reflecting non-simultaneous projectile and target electron transitions, are replaced with processes that include both non-simultaneous and simultaneous electronic transitions on the target and projectile. These include, for example, single ionization, single ionization with simultaneous single projectile excitation, single ionization with double projectile excitation, single ionization with single projectile stripping, and single ionization with double projectile stripping. Using this expanded set of processes, we show, via Monte Carlo ion-transport simulation, that improved representation of the energy deposition, measured by the stopping power, is obtained as compared to accepted recommended values for intermediate energies (100-2000 keV/u) where the stopping power is largest, while maintaining the existing good agreement with these recommended values for low (similar to 10-100 keV/u) and high (>= 2000 keV/u) energies. In addition, the ion-fraction distribution is altered by use of the improved data set. Both of these effects have implications for the energy deposition by oxygen ion precipitation in an H-2 atmosphere. Therefore, use of this expanded data set can provide a more physically realistic secondary-electron distribution, and consequently improved atmospheric reaction network, improved description of ion contribution to atmospheric currents, and therefore improved understanding of Jovian ionosphere-atmosphere coupling.
