Differential electron scattering from positive ions measured by zero-degree ion-atom spectroscopy

Recent developments in quasi-free electron scattering from highly charged ions are reported. Results using a high-efficiency zero-degree Auger projectile spectroscopy setup are presented primarily for collisions of H- and He-like boron beams with H2 targets. A novel technique for the in situ control...

Results using a high-efficiency zero-degree Auger projectile spectroscopy setup are presented primarily for collisions of H- and He-like boron beams with H2 targets. A novel technique for the in situ control and determination of the metastable 1s 2s3S beam fraction of He-like boron allowed for an accurate determination of absolute double differential scattering cross sections for 180 ° resonant and non-resonant electron scattering from both ground-(1s2) and mixed-(1s2, 1s 2s 3S) B3+ states. The observed richly structured B2+ (1s 2l nl′) Rydberg series is produced by resonant excitation (RE) from the 1s2 ground state, while the triply excited B2+ (2s 2l′ 2l″) hollow ionic states are produced by RE from the 1s 2s3S metastable state. The consistency of the method was checked by quasi-free electron scattering from H-like B4+ ions giving rise to the 2l nl′ Rydberg series. Differential R-matrix calculations within the electron scattering model for electron-ion scattering from both H-like and ground state He-like boron were found to be in excellent overall agreement. The production of triply excited (2s 2l′ 2l″) states by RE was also studied for the Z = 5-9 isoelectronic sequence. These results convincingly demonstrate that large-angle differential scattering cross section measurements, practically impossible to perform with present day crossed or merged electron-ion beam techniques, are amenable to measurement through high resolution electron spectroscopy of ion-atom collisions, providing some of the most sensitive tests of atomic structure and electron-ion scattering calculations. © 2003 Elsevier Science B.V.

description Recent developments in quasi-free electron scattering from highly charged ions are reported. Results using a high-efficiency zero-degree Auger projectile spectroscopy setup are presented primarily for collisions of H- and He-like boron beams with H2 targets. A novel technique for the in situ control and determination of the metastable 1s 2s3S beam fraction of He-like boron allowed for an accurate determination of absolute double differential scattering cross sections for 180 ° resonant and non-resonant electron scattering from both ground-(1s2) and mixed-(1s2, 1s 2s 3S) B3+ states. The observed richly structured B2+ (1s 2l nl′) Rydberg series is produced by resonant excitation (RE) from the 1s2 ground state, while the triply excited B2+ (2s 2l′ 2l″) hollow ionic states are produced by RE from the 1s 2s3S metastable state. The consistency of the method was checked by quasi-free electron scattering from H-like B4+ ions giving rise to the 2l nl′ Rydberg series. Differential R-matrix calculations within the electron scattering model for electron-ion scattering from both H-like and ground state He-like boron were found to be in excellent overall agreement. The production of triply excited (2s 2l′ 2l″) states by RE was also studied for the Z = 5-9 isoelectronic sequence.
