The Heliosphere in the Local Interstellar Medium Proceedings of the First ISSI Workshop 6–10 November 1995, Bern, Switzerland

In summary, we can conclude that the contributions of the different ionization processes to the total ionization rate for the most abundant interstellar species are basically known. The ionization of the noble gases He and Ne is almost completely dominated by photoionization, whereas for H charge-ex...
