Extract

An apparatus for the production of beams of fast positive ions is described. Measurements of the cross-section for capture of an electron by a positive ion from a neutral gas atom are given on the case of He+ ions in helium and protons in helium and hydrogen. These are compared with the theory given by Massey and Smith, and as far as possible with previous experiments.
