This booklet collects the papers offered on the NATO complicated examine Workshop on "Ionization of Solids via Heavy Particles", held in Giardini-Naxos (Taormina), Italy, on June 1 -5, 1992. The assembly was once the 1st to collect scientists to debate the physics of electron emission and different ionization results happening in the course of the interplay of heavy debris with condensed topic. The crucial challenge within the box is the way to use observations of electron emission and ultimate radiation harm to appreciate what occurs contained in the stable, like excitation mechanisms, the propagation of the digital excitation alongside varied pathways, and floor results. The ARW all started with a short survey of the sector, stressing the unknowns. It used to be mentioned that ionization theories can simply handle the very specific case of vulnerable perturbations. For this challenge, this intended excessive velocity, low-charged projectiles (a perturbation remedy of interactions with gradual, hugely charged ions was once later presented). merely semi-empirical types exist for velocities less than the Fermi speed within the reliable, which are used to foretell kinetic electron emission yields. those types, notwithstanding, don't deal with the elemental questions on the mechanisms for electron excitation, delivery and break out during the floor layer.
