Electron-electron interaction in strong electromagnetic fields: the two-electron contribution to the ground-state energy in He-like uranium.

چکیده
Radiative recombination transitions into the ground state of cooled bare and hydrogenlike uranium ions were measured at the storage ring ESR. By comparing the corresponding x-ray centroid energies, this technique allows for a direct measurement of the electron-electron contribution to the ionization potential in the heaviest He-like ions. For the two-electron contribution to the ionization potential of He-like uranium we obtain a value of 2248+/-9 eV. This represents the most accurate determination of two-electron effects in the domain of high-Z He-like ions, and the accuracy reaches already the size of the specific two-electron radiative QED corrections.

Propagation and Interaction of Electrostatic and Electromagnetic Waves in Two Stream Free Electron Laser in the Presence of Self-Fields
A relativistic theory for two-stream free electron laser (FEL) with a one-dimensional helical wiggler and ion-channel guiding in the presence of self-fields are presented. A dispersion relation (DR) which includes coupling between the electromagnetic and the electrostatic waves is derived from a fluid model, with all of the relativistic terms related to the transverse wiggler motion. This DR is...
متن کاملCalculation of Quasi-one-dimensional Interacting Electron Gas Using the Hartree-Fock Method
In this paper, the Hartree-Fock method has been formulated to investigate some of the ground state properties of quasi-one-dimensional interacting electron gas in the presence of the magnetic field. The bare coulomb interaction between electrons has been assumed. For this system, we have also computed some of its thermodynamic and magnetic properties such as the energy, pressure, incompressibil...
متن کاملKα1 decay of helium–like uranium ions following radiative electron capture
Studies of the charge transfer in relativistic ion–atom collisions have a long tradition at the GSI storage ring [1]. In the radiative electron capture (REC), for example, a free (or quasi–free) electron is captured into a bound state of the projectile ion, accompanied by the simultaneous emission of a recombination photon. The angular and polarization properties of such photons have been explo...

Introduction: Several studies have discussed to the electron contamination caused by the air column between the head of linac and patient for photon beams. Since it is not possible to measure the electron contamination with practical dosimetry, the Monte Carlo technique is an appropriate and accurate choice to calculate particle flounce in radiation therapy. The purpose of t...
متن کاملDevelopment of a Crystal Spectrometer for Low-energy X-ray Measurements
He-like heavy ions are the simplest atomic multibody systems. They are in particular well suited to study electron-electron effects in the presence of strong Coulomb fields where QED contributions are of considerable importance. Recent progress in the spectroscopy of these ions [1] and in related theoretical investigations [2] opened new perspectives for such studies up to He-like uranium. A fu...
