			'''Reiner Feltgen''' is a German physicist known for his experimental work in atomic and molecular physics, particularly the study of interatomic potentials and chemi-ionization reactions using crossed atomic and molecular beams.

			==Biography==
			Feltgen carried out his research at the Max-Planck-Institut für Strömungsforschung (Max Planck Institute for Fluid Dynamics) in Göttingen, Germany, where he worked in the field of atomic and molecular beam physics. He resides in Beverungen, Germany.

			==Work==
			Feltgen's research centered on the measurement and interpretation of atomic and molecular collision processes at thermal and low collision energies. Using crossed-beam techniques, he investigated elastic scattering, interatomic interaction potentials, and chemi-ionization (Penning ionization) reactions.

			A central contribution was the experimental determination of the helium–helium (He<sub>2</sub>) ground-state interaction potential. In a widely cited 1982 study with H. Kirst, K. A. Köhler, H. Pauly, and F. Torello, high-resolution total differential cross-section measurements were combined with a reliable potential model to obtain the He<sub>2</sub> ground-state potential from experiment. The weakly bound helium dimer has since been of considerable interest in the study of quantum-mechanical few-body systems.

			Feltgen also studied chemi-ionization reactions in which metastable helium atoms, He(2<sup>1</sup>S) and He(2<sup>3</sup>S), collide with rare-gas and other target atoms. This work included measurements of the energy dependence of ionization cross sections over a wide range of collision energies, contributing to the understanding of Penning and associative ionization processes.

			==Selected publications==
