Estimate of the second order electron self energy corrections in highly charged heavy ions

An estimate for the last unknown gauge-invariant set of QED corrections of order α², the second-order self-energy correction, is presented utilizing the so-called sign approximation. This is able to reduce the present uncertainties in Lamb-shift predictions considerably. This revised version was published online in August 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

Lifetime measurements of ultrashort-lived excited states in Be-like ions

We propose to measure the lifetime of short-lived excited states in highly charged ions by pump-probe experiments. Utilizing two synchronized and delayed Femtosecond pulses allows accessing these lifetimes with Femtosecond precision. Such measurements could provide sensitive tests of state-of-the art atomic structure calculations beyond the capabilities of established methods.

Calculation of the binding energy of heavy nuclei with non-local two-body forces

A non-local, separable potential which matches the phase shifts up to 320 MeV and gives saturation for nuclear matter in the first order at a Fermi-momentum ofk _F =1.6 f^?1 with an energy per particle of ?8 MeV has been constructed byTabakin. We have employed this potential for calculations of finite nuclei using the Fermi-gas-model. The binding energy has been minimalized with respect to two parametersb andc (the surface-thickness and the radius of the nucleus). However the calculations show that an arbitrarily sharp surface is possible.

Doubly excited triplet states of highly stripped ions

Transition energies, Coulomb repulsions and effective quantum numbers have been calculated for the doubly excited Nsnp: ³P⁰ (for N = 2, n = N,?, 5n = N,\ldots, 5); Nsnd: ³D^e (for N = 2, n=N+1, ?, 5n=N+1, \ldots, 5) and Npnd: ³F⁰ (for N = 2, n=N+1, ?, 5n=N+1, \ldots, 5) states for the highly stripped ions Na⁹⁺{\rm Na^{9+}}, Mg¹⁰⁺\rm Mg^{10+}, Al¹¹⁺\rm Al^{11+}, Si¹²⁺\rm Si^{12+}, P¹³⁺\rm P^{13+} and S¹⁴⁺\rm S^{14+}. Time-dependent perturbation theory has been applied to calculate such transitions properties. A time-dependent harmonic perturbation causes simultaneous excitation of both the electrons with a change of spin state. The doubly excited energy levels and the analytic representation of their wave functions are obtained by identifying the poles of an appropriately constructed linearized variational functional with respect to driving frequency. Most of the results are new. The transition energies and effective quantum numbers of 2s2p: ³P⁰ states of all the ions agree well with the only available experimental data.

Structure and dynamics of highly charged heavy ions studied with the electron beam ion trap in Tokyo

In this paper, we present the structure and the dynamics of highly charged heavy ions studied through dielectronic recombination (DR) observations performed with the Tokyo electron beam ion trap. By measuring the energy dependence of the ion abundance ratio in the trap at equilibrium, we have observed DR processes for open shell systems very clearly. Remarkable relativistic effects due to the generalized Breit interaction have been clearly shown in DR for highly charged heavy ions. We also present the first result for the coincidence measurement of two photons emitted from a single DR event.     

Probing the symmetry energy with heavy ions

Constraints on the EoS for symmetric matter (equal neutron and proton numbers) at supra-saturation densities have been extracted from energetic collisions of heavy ions. Collisions of neutron-deficient and neutron-rich heavy ions now provide initial constraints on the EoS of neutron-rich matter at sub-saturation densities. Comparisons are made to other available constraints.

Calculation of the dielectric function for highly excited polar semiconductors

The optical dielectric function of an electron-hole plasma in highly excited polar semiconductors with a direct band gap is calculated by solving a Bethe-Salpeter equation for the polarization function. The screening of the Coulomb potential is treated in a damped phonon-plasmon-pole approximation. We include the complex dynamical self-energy corrections as well as electron-hole correlations.Project of the Sonderforschungsbereich Frankfurt/Darmstadt, financed by special funds of the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft     

Calculation of highly excited eigenstates of chaotic quantum systems

Computational methods for the calculation of a large number of eigenstates of coupled oscillator system are developed and discussed. These calculations have enabled us to identify and investigate properties of an infinite set of states sharply localized in configuration space in this system. Some of the results and their significance are discussed. Extensions to three-dimensional systems are also briefly considered.     

Observation of trielectronic recombination in Be-like Cl ions

Recombination involving the core excitation of two electrons, which may be termed trielectronic recombination, has been experimentally identified for the first time. Using Cl13+ ions circulating in the TSR heavy-ion storage ring, we have observed surprisingly strong low-energy trielectronic recombination resonances, comparable to the dielectronic process. At higher electron-ion collision energies, trielectronic recombination is suppressed due to the autoionization of the triply excited intermediate state into excited final states. The formation of the intermediate state depends sensitively on configuration mixing, making trielectronic recombination a challenge to atomic-structure calculations.

Core electron binding energies in heavy atoms

Inner shell binding of electrons in heavy atoms is studied through the relativistic density functional theory in which many electron interactions are treated in a local density approximation. By using this theory and the Δscf procedure binding energies of several core electrons of mercury atom are calculated in the frozen and relaxed configurations. The results are compared with those carried out by the non-local Dirac-Fock Scheme.K-shell binding energies of several closed shell atoms are calculated by using the Kohn-Sham and the relativistic exchange potentials. The results are discussed and the discrepancies in our local density results, when compared with experimental values, may be attributed to the non-locality and to the many-body effects.
