For example:

$Xe^{+}+e^{-} \rightarrow Xe + energy$$Xe^{+}+e^{-} \rightarrow Xe + \mbox{energy}$

Assuming that the electron has a kinetic energy $\neq 0$.

Is the released energy a photon or heat?

For example:

$Xe^{+}+e^{-} \rightarrow Xe + energy$

Assuming that the electron has a kinetic energy $\neq 0$.

What happens when an ion hits an electron?

For example:

$Xe^{+}+e^{-} \rightarrow Xe + energy$

Assuming that the electron has a kinetic energy $\neq 0$.
