Abstract

This work is a short review on the experimental cross sections for water ionization due to the impact of light ions (Z < 6), including related processes such as electron capture and water molecule fragmentation. These cross sections are crucial in studies dealing with the biological effects produced by the impact of ions on living beings. Physical interpretations of the experimental results are also provided. (AU)
