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.

Effects of the strong Breit interaction on the $2s2p$-$1s2s$ transitions of inner shell hole states of Helium-like ions

We have calculated the transition energies and probabilities of one-electron one photon and one-electron two photon transitions of middle-Z and high-Z He-like ions using the fully relativistic multiconfiguration Dirac-Hartree-Fock method with active space method. The relativistic, electron correlation, Breit and QED effects are systemically taken into account in the present work. Results showcase consistent agreement with the experimental and theoretical data, uncovering intriguing inversion phenomena in One-Electron One-Photon transitions energy, particularly in double-hole states. Theoretical spectra intensities provide valuable insights into high-energy X-ray radiation processes from double \textit{K}-hole states.

Spectator electron effects on the two-electron one-photon radiative transition process of double K hole state of Xe$^{q+}$ ion($47\!\leq\!q\!\leq\!52$)

The double electron E1 transition energies, probabilities, and oscillator strengths between the $2s2p^{n}$ and $1s^{2}2p^{n-1}$($1\!\leq\!n\leq\!6$) configurations of Xe$^{q+}$($47\!\leq\!q\leq\!52$) ions with different spectator electrons have been calculated based on the multi-configuration Dirac-Hartree-Fock method. A reasonable electron correlation model is constructed with the aid of the active space method. The finite mass of nuclear, Breit interaction and QED effects have also been included. The calculated results are in good agreement with the available data. The theoretical spectra of different spectator electrons of the double K hole state have been predicted. The spectator electron effects on the transition spectra have been analyzed in detail. The present results will be helpful for analyzing the high energy X-ray spectrum observed from the interaction between high energy highly charged ions and the surface.

The effects of electron correlation and the Breit interaction on one- and two-electron one-photon transitions in double K hole states of He-like ions ($10\!\leq\!Z\!\leq\!47$)

The x-ray energies and transition rates associated with single and double electron radiative transitions from the double K hole state $2s2p$ to the $1s2s$ and $1s^{2}$ configurations of 11 He-like ions ($10\!\leq\!Z\!\leq\!47$) are evaluated using the fully relativistic multi-configuration Dirac-Fock method. An appropriate electron correlation model is constructed with the aid of the active space method, which allows the electron correlation effects to be studied efficiently. The contributions of electron correlation and the Breit interaction to the transition properties are analyzed in detail. It is found that the two-electron one-photon (TEOP) transition is correlation sensitive. The Breit interaction and electron correlation both contribute significantly to the radiative transition properties of the double K hole state of He-like ions. Good agreement between the present calculation and previous work is achieved. The calculated data will be helpful to future investigations on double K hole decay processes of He-like ions.

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 128-channel picoammeter system and its application on charged particle beam current distribution measurements

A 128-channel picoammeter system is constructed based on instrumentation amplifiers. Taking the advantages of high electric potential and narrow bandwidth in DC energetic charged beam measurements, current resolution better than 5 fA can be achieved. Two 128-channel Faraday cup arrays are built, and are employed for ion and electron beam current distribution measurements. Tests with 60 keV O3+ ions and 2 keV electrons show that it can provide exact boundaries when a positive charged particle beam current distribution is measured.

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.
