Doppler-shifted X-ray Spectroscopy of Nonradiative Electron Capture in Relativistic Collisions of Xe54+ Ions with Kr and Xe Atoms

We present an angular-resolved Doppler spectroscopy study of nonradiative electron capture in relativistic collisions of bare Xe54+ ions with Kr and Xe gas targets at the HIRFL-CSR storage ring. The energy spectra and angular distributions of X-rays emitted from fast-moving down-charged projectiles were measured at five observation angles of 35{\deg}, 60{\deg}, 90{\deg}, 120{\deg}, and 145{\deg} and three collision energies of 95, 146, and 197 MeV/u by employing the effect of Doppler shift. The transition intensities of Xe53+ ions with small energy differences were precisely determined. In symmetric Xe54+ \to Xe collisions, the transition intensities of Xe53+ and Xe52+ ions were identified when X-rays emitted by projectiles overlapped with K X-rays arising from target ionization. The anisotropy parameters of the K{\alpha_1}(+M2) transition were derived from the angular emission patterns of the corresponding spectral lines. The relative populations of the L, M, and N-shell excited levels of Xe53+ and Xe52+ were further deduced from the intensity ratios of I(Ly-{\beta})/I(Ly-{\alpha}), I(Ly-{\gamma})/I(Ly-{\alpha}), and I(K{\alpha})/I(Ly-{\alpha}). The energy dependence of the population of excited projectile levels was obtained for both targets. Furthermore, the experimental results were compared with theoretical calculations of nonradiative single- and double-electron capture based on the relativistic eikonal approximation and the independent-electron approximation. These findings provide valuable insights into the magnetic-sublevel population and n-resolved state-selective population of excited states produced in relativistic collisions of highly charged heavy ions with multi-electron atoms.

Angular distribution of K{\alpha} x rays following nonradiative double electron capture in relativistic collisions of Xe54+ ions with Kr and Xe atoms

We present experimental study of nonradiative double electron capture processes in collisions of 95 and 146 MeV/u bare xenon ions with krypton and xenon gaseous atoms at the HIRFL-CSR storage ring. Angular distributions of the characteristic K{\alpha} radiation of the down-charged projectile ions Xe52+* are measured, which are closely related to the magnetic sublevel population of the excited 1s2l_j states of Xe52+*. It was found that the K{\alpha}1 radiation shows pronounced anisotropic and is sensitive to the collision energies and the target atoms, whereas the K{\alpha}2 radiation gives rise to isotropic. Moreover, obviously difference in the anisotropy parameters of Lyman-{\alpha}1 of Xe53+* ions and K{\alpha} transitions of Xe52+* ions separately following nonradiative single and double electron capture into the L-shell levels of projectiles is obtained and discussed.

Production and decay of K-shell hollow krypton in collisions with 52 - 197 MeV/u bare xenon ions

X-ray spectra of K-shell hollow krypton atoms produced in single collisions with 52 - 197 MeV/u Xe54+ ions are measured in a heavy-ion storage ring equipped with an internal gas-jet target. Energy shifts of the Kα_1,2^s, Kα_1,2^(h,s), and K\b{eta}_1,3^s transitions are obtained. Thus, the average number of the spectator L-vacancies presented during the x-ray emission is deduced. From the relative intensities of the Kα_1,2^s and Kα_1,2^(h,s) transitions, the ratio of K-shell hollow krypton to singly K-shell ionized atoms is determined to be 14 - 24%. In the considered collisions, the K-vacancies are mainly created by the direct ionization which cannot be calculated within the perturbation descriptions. The experimental results are compared with a relativistic coupled channel calculation performed within the independent particle approximation.

A real-time beam current density meter

We have developed a real-time beam current density meter for charged particle beams. It measures the mean current density by collimating a uniform and large diameter primary beam. The suppression of the secondary electrons and the deflection of the beam were simulated, and it was tested with a 105 keV Ar7+ ion beam.
