Absolute experimental cross sections for the electron impact single, double, triple, and quadruple ionization of Cs+ ions

Absolute cross sections for the single, double, triple, and quadruple ionization of Cs+ ions by electron impact have been measured from below their respective thresholds to approximately 5000 eV. These measurements have been made using a crossed beam facility operated in a pulsed beam mode. Numerous consistency checks were performed in order to identify and evaluate possible sources of experimental error.
