Abstract

We present experimental data on the rate coefficient for electron impact ionisation of W atoms at electron temperatures between 5 and 10 eV. Our results undercut different theoretical data sets based on the Born approximation and the distorted wave approximation, respectively, by more than a factor of 3. Better agreement in absolute values is found with a more recent work by Goswami et al. The present data match well with earlier measurements by Steinbrink obtained with a different method.
