Résumé :

Charge changing processes are known to have a strong influence on ion-induced electron emission characteristics. However, up to now, only a few theoretical models incorporate electron capture and loss cross-sections. For protons with velocities around 1 a.u., a correct theoretical model of the various charge changing processes undergone by the proton is necessary. In particular, all the electrons excited in the different processes have to be taken into account. It is precisely the aim of the present paper to give a description of all the possible charge changing processes and to incorporate these processes in a Monte Carlo simulation of proton induced electron emission from polycrystalline aluminium. The influence of charge changing processes on backward electron emission yield is evaluated. The contributions of H+, H0, H- fractions as well as of electrons excited by the charge changing processes for incident H+ (1
