Evidence for strong Breit interaction in dielectronic recombination of highly charged heavy ions.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Resonant strengths have been measured for dielectronic recombination of Li-like iodine, holmium, and bismuth using an electron beam ion trap. By observing the atomic number dependence of the state-resolved resonant strength, clear experimental evidence has been obtained that the importance of the generalized Breit interaction (GBI) effect on dielectronic recombination increases as the atomic number increases. In particular, it has been shown that the GBI effect is exceptionally strong for the recombination through the resonant state [1s2s(2)2p(1/2)](1).

Dielectronic satellite spectra of heliumlike iron and nickel from the unified recombination method
It is shown that resonances in the unified recombination cross sections correspond directly to dielectronic satellite spectra. Positions, intensities, and profiles of satellite lines may be obtained accurately using the Breit-Pauli R-matrix method and the unified theory of total electron-ion recombination. The intrinsic dielectronic resonance strength corresponding to autoionizing resonances is...
متن کاملDominance of the Breit interaction in the x-ray emission of highly charged ions following dielectronic recombination.
The Breit interaction typically appears as a-more or less small-correction to the Coulomb repulsion acting among the electrons. We here propose two x-ray measurements on the angular distribution and linear polarization of the 1s2s(2)2p(1/2) J=1-->1s(2)2s(2) J=0 electric-dipole radiation of high-Z, beryllium-like ions, following the resonant electron capture into initially lithium-like ions, for...
متن کاملRelativistic, QED and nuclear effects in highly charged ions revealed by resonant electron-ion recombination in storage rings
Dielectronic recombination (DR) of few-electron ions has evolved into a sensitive spectroscopic tool for highly charged ions. This is due to technological advances in electron-beam preparation and ion-beam cooling techniques at heavy-ion storage rings. Recent experiments prove unambiguously that DR collision spectroscopy has become sensitive to 2nd order QED and to nuclear effects. This review ...

متن کاملExperimental demonstration of the Breit interaction which dominates the angular distribution of x-ray emission in dielectronic recombination.
We report the experimentally determined angular distribution of the [1s2s(2)2p(1/2)](1)→[1s(2)2s(2)](0) transition in dielectronic recombination of Li-like Au. Recently, Fritzsche et al. [Phys. Rev. Lett. 103, 113001 (2009)] predicted that the Breit interaction plays a dominant role in the angular distribution of this transition. However, the predicted phenomenon has not yet been observed exper...
