Plasmon tsunami on C60 caused by electron transfer to a highly charged ion

This paper discusses the physical mechanism by which a highly charged, energetic ion partly neutralized by electron transfers from a large molecule can create molecular collective excitations in the process. Our analysis offers a new explanation for the periodic oscillations observed by Selberg et al Phys. Rev. A53, 874 (1996) in the high-resolution energy gain spectra of energetic Arq+ ions (q = 8, 13, 14, 15) flying-by C60 molecules and undergoing partial neutralization.
