Abstract

In a recent letter Bachau, Roncin and Harel have proposed an ingenious method based on the post-collision interaction (PCI) effect to obtain stabilization of certain classes of autoionizing states during ion-atom collisions. The present authors argue that although the effect as such is possible they find several difficulties with its application to cases for which stabilization has been observed.
