Primary populations of metastable antiprotonic (4)He and (3)He atoms.

چکیده
Initial distributions of metastable antiprotonic (4)He and (3)He atoms over principal (n) and angular momentum (l) quantum numbers have been deduced using laser spectroscopy experiments. The regions n = 37-40 and n = 35-38 in the two atoms account for almost all of the observed fractions [(3.0 +/- 0.1)% and (2.4 +/- 0.1)%] of antiprotons captured into metastable states.

Laser spectroscopic studies of state-dependent collisional quenching of the lifetimes of metastable antiprotonic helium atoms
A laser spectroscopic method was developed to directly observe the lifetimes of individual states in metastable antiprotonic helium atoms ( p̄ He). Collisional effects with surrounding helium atoms were studied in cryogenic gas targets at pressures between 0.1 and 9.0 bars and at temperatures between 5.5 and 7.0 K. The metastable state (n ,l )5(39,35) showed a lifetime of 1.5 ms, regardless of d...
متن کاملAuger–dominant metastable states in the antiprotonic helium atom
Auger dominant metastable states in the antiprotonic helium atoms are studied by using the Complex Coordinate Rotation method. Relativistic corrections for the bound electron related to the Breit interaction have been calculated using CCR wave functions. Higher order relativistic and QED effects have been included into consideration to get precise theoretical values for transition frequencies.
متن کاملProduction of a degenerate Fermi gas of metastable helium-3 atoms
Most of this book discusses Fermi gases composed of alkali atoms. Since the first realization of a degenerate K Fermi gas in 1999, Li has been the only other fermionic atom to be cooled below the Fermi temperature. In this contribution we will discuss our recent results on cooling fermionic He below the Fermi temperature. This has not been performed with ground state He, but with He in the meta...
متن کاملTemperature Dependence of 3He Polarization in Aluminum Storage Cells
The temperature dependence of the polarization of 3 He atoms in an internal target cell has been studied. Metastable optically pumped polarized 3 He atoms with typical polarization values of 40% were injected into a thin-walled aluminum cell of 40 cm length and a 29.09.8 mm 2 elliptical cross-section. The cell temperature was varied between 5 K and 85 K. The polarization inside the target cell ...
متن کاملCalculation of the total cross section for the ionization of H, He, Ne and Ar atoms by bare ions at the high energy range
In the present work, the total cross-section for the ionization of H, He, Ne and Ar atoms by +He2+ ، H+ ، Li3 ions has been calculated. In these calculations, a binary encounter approximation in the form of a two-body process between projectile ions and atomic electrons at the high energy range has been implemented. In order to enter the nuclear role of the target atom, the atomic electron vel...
