Application of the HI-5 Model to Proton-Impact Ionization of Lithium

The study of heavy-ion collisions with atoms is an increasingly active area of collision physics. We introduce the Heavy-Ion 5-Body (HI-5) model for charged particle collisions, which is only recently possible due to improvements in computing capabilities. Using our model, we present fully differential cross sections for proton-impact ionization of lithium. Results are compared to other theoretical models, and the role of electron correlation is studied.
