Abrupt rise of the longitudinal recoil ion momentum distribution for ionizing collisions.
نویسندگان
چکیده
We report on the experimental observation of an abrupt rise in the longitudinal momentum distribution of recoil ions created in proton helium collision. The details of this structure can be related to electrons traveling with the velocity of the projectile [electron capture to the continuum (ECC)]. The longitudinal as well as the transverse distribution of the recoil ions can be explained as a continuation of the momentum distribution from ions resulting from electron capture illustrating the smooth transition from the capture to bound states of the projectile to the ECC.

Doubly Differential Final-State Momentum Distributions of the Ionization Products in Collision of Bare Ions with Hydrogen.
In this paper recoil-ion production cross sections are presented differential in recoil-ion longitudinal momentum and electron emission angle in ionization of atomic and molecular hydrogen by bare ion projectiles. A new formulation for constructing these double differential distributions from the measured electron double differential cross sections is used. A novel feature is the separation of ...

A summary of the entire scope of the Kansas State University AMO program is contained in the J. R. Macdonald Laboratory abstract. The present document is limited to a discussion of recent progress in the MOTRIMS projects. MOTRIMS, or magneto optical trap recoil ion momentum spectroscopy, is a methodology originally developed for the study of ion-atom or photon-atom collisions. Following the bas...

A 14 m long beam line dedicated to study very small scattering angles in ion-molecule collisions has been set up in the University of Toledo Heavy Ion Accelerator (THIA) Laboratory. Together with position sensitive detectors for both the projectile and the recoil particles’ detection, the beam line can be used to measure the projectile forward scattering angles of up to 2.5 milliradians (mrad) ...
متن کاملModeling Magnetic Field in Heavy ion Collisions Using Two Different Nuclear Charge Density Distributions
By studying the properties of matter during heavy-ion collisions, a better understanding of the Quark-Gluon plasma is possible. One of the main areas of this study is the calculation of the magnetic field, particularly how the values of conductivity affects this field and how the field strength changes with proper time. In matching the theoretical calculations with results obtained in lab, two diffe...
متن کاملBose - Einstein Correlations for Longitudinally Expanding , Finite Systems
Bose-Einstein correlations and momentum distributions are calculated for a longitudinally expanding boson source, where the expanding system has a finite size in space-time rapidity. Such systems are physically realized in any of the single jets in high energy e + e − , lepton-hadron and hadron-hadron collisions as well as in high energy heavy ion collisions, where the projectile is not really ...
