Abstract: 
The electron-impact single ionization of low-charged Ti ions was studied both experimentally and theoretically. Absolute cross sections for Tiq+ ions in charge states q = 1 to 6 except 3 were measured using a crossed-beams technique as well as calculated with the configuration-average distorted-wave method, including both direct ionization and excitation-autoionization contributions. For charge states q = 4, 5 and 6, the measurements are in good agreement with the calculations considering that large components of the incident ion beam were in metastable configurations. The cross sections for single ionization of Ti5+ and Ti6+ were determined in part with a high-resolution energy-scan method. Besides contributions of excitation-autoionization mechanisms, a remarkable number of structures arising from resonant-excitation double-autoionization (REDA) processes could be observed.
