Cross sections of Oq+（q=1-4） electron loss in collisions with He,Ne and Ar

Electron-loss cross sections of O q+(q = 1 4) colliding with He,Ne and Ar atoms are measured in the intermediate velocity regime.The ratios of the cross sections of two-electron loss to that of one-electron loss R 21 are presented.It is shown that single-channel analysis is not sufficient to explain the results,but that projectile electron loss,electron capture by the projectile and target ionization must be considered together to interpret the experimental data.The screening and antiscreening effects can account for the threshold velocity results,but cannot explain the dependence of the ratio R 21 on velocity quantitatively.In general,the effective charge of the target atom increases with velocity increasing because the high-speed projectile ion can penetrate into the inner electronic shell of target atom.Ne and Ar atoms have similar effective charges in this velocity regime,but He atoms have smaller ones at the same velocities due to its smaller nuclear charge.

The count ratios R of the neutralized atoms of final state to projectiles Li -and Na -in collision with He, Ne and Ar are measured in the energy range of 3-19 keV. It is found that the count ratios R increase slowly with the collision energy in whole experimental energy range for He, Ne and Ar. For Li -→He, Ne, Ar Collisions, R(He)≈R(Ar)>R(Ne), and for Na -→He, Ne, Ar Collisions, R(He)>R(Ar)> R(Ne).     

Theoretical analysis of ion kinetic energies and DLC film deposition by CH4＋ Ar （He） dielectric barrier discharge plasmas

The kinetic energy of ions in dielectric barrier discharge plasmas are analysed theoretically using the model of binary collisions between ions and gas molecules. Langevin equation for ions in other gases, Blanc law for ions in mixed gases, and the two-temperature model for ions at higher reduced field are used to determine the ion mobility. The kinetic energies of ions in CH4 ＋ Ar（He） dielectric barrier discharge plasma at a fixed total gas pressure and various Ar （He） concentrations are calculated. It is found that with increasing Ar （He） concentration in CH4 ＋ Ar （He） from 20% to 83%, the CH4＋ kinetic energy increases from 69.6 （43.9） to 92.1 （128.5）eV, while the Ar＋ （He＋） kinetic energy decreases from 97 （145.2） to 78.8 （75.5）eV. The increase of CH4＋ kinetic energy is responsible for the increase of hardness of diamond-like carbon films deposited by CH4 ＋ Ar （He） dielectric barrier discharge without bias voltage over substrates.     

Projectile electron loss in collisions of light charged ions with helium

We investigate the single-electron loss processes of light charged ions （Li^1＋,2＋, C^2＋,3＋,5＋, and O^2＋,3＋） in collisions with helium. To better understand the experimental results, we propose a theoretical model to calculate the cross section of projectile electron loss. In this model, an ionization radius of the incident ion was defined under the classical over-barrier model, and we developed ＂strings＂ to explain the processes of projectile electron loss, which is similar with the molecular over-barrier model. Theoretical calculations are in good agreement with the experimental results for the cross section of single-electron loss and the ratio of double-to-single ionization of helium associated with one-electron loss.     

Absolute Cross Sections for Near-Threshold Electron-Impact Excitation of the 2s^2S→2p^2P Transition of Li-Like C^3＋, N^4＋, and O^5＋ Ions

Excitation cross sections of 1s^22s ^2S1/2 → 1s^22p^2p1/2,3/2 transition among the fine-structure levels in Li-like C^3＋, N^4＋, and O^5＋ ions are calculated for energies of the near-threshold by using the relativistic distorted-wave program REIE06. The target state wavefunctions are calculated by using the Grasp92 code. The continuum orbitals are studied in the distorted-wave approximation, in which the direct and exchange potentials among all the electrons are included. The results of the Li-like C^3＋ ion settle the discrepancy between several previous experiments by using the crossed-beams fluorescence method, in good agreement with the measurements of Savin et al. Moreover, the results in Li-like N^4＋, and O^5＋ ions are compared with the previous experiments, and a good agreement is obtained.     

Investigation of the transfer ionization process in collisions of partially stripped ions on He

In this paper a projectile ion-recoil ion coincidence technique is used to investigate the transfer ionization processes in collisions of 0.22--6.30~MeV C^{q + } ions and 0.25--6.35~MeV O^{q + } ions (q=1, 2, 3, 4) with the He atom separately. The cross section ratio f of transfer ionization to single electron transfer is measured, and the dependence of f on both charge state q and energy E of the projectiles is investigated. The electron-structure and the mechanisms leading to transfer ionization affect the dependence of f on q and E. Our measurements, along with other data published previously, suggest a similar dependence of f on charge state and energy of projectile for partially stripped ions over a large energy range. The maximum value of f is approximately 0.17q^{0.60}; the energy corresponding to maximum f is about 160q^{0.60}~keV/u.     

Transfer ionization of the isocharge sequence ion and Ar collisions

The ratios of transfer ionization to single capture for isocharge C^{q+}, N^{q+}, O^{q+}, Ne^{q+} ions on Ar atoms are measured by using position-sensitive and time-of-flight techniques. It is found that the ratio R_{1} increases with nuclear charge Z in a q=4 sequence, and the ratio R_{1} sequences have the minimum values at Z=7 and Z=8 in q=5 and q=6 sequences, respectively, and the ratio R_{1} decreases with the increase in the nuclear charge Z in a q=7 sequence. The results may be explained within the frame of the statistical model. It may be concluded that the transfer ionization depends remarkably upon the electronic structure of the projectile. The projectiles used in this study have the same charge state and velocity, but different electronic structures. The dependence of the ratio R_{1} on q is studied for Ne^{q+}-Ar collisions. The ratio R_{1} is found to increase as q increases for Ne^{q+}－Ar collisions. The measured dependence of the ratio R_{1} on q is compared with the calculation using the molecular Coulomb over-barrier model.     

Single-and-double electron loss of O2+ in collisions with argon and helium

This paper reports that the ratios of double to single electron loss cross-section （R） of O^2＋ in collision with Ar and He at the velocity of 1 -4 vo（vo is the Bohr velocity） have been obtained by the coincidence technique. The trend of R - V in the experiment indicates that the effective charge varies with injected velocity. The effective charge can be obtained by the n-body classical trajectory Monte Carlo method, which is interpreted by the molecular Coulomb over barrier model.     

Classical Study of Transfer and Ionization in A^2＋＋He Collisions

A simple model for the direct ionization and transfer ionization probabilities in A^2＋＋He collisions in a wide projectile energy range is proposed based on the Bohr-Lindhard model and the classical statistical model. The calculated cross sections are in satisfactory agreement with the experimental data available.     

Ab Initio Calculations of Differential Cross Sections for Single Charge Transfer in ^3He^2＋ ＋ ^4He Collisions

The single charge transfer process in ^3He^2＋ ＋ ^4He collisions is investigated using the quantum-mechanical molecular- orbital close-coupling method, in which the adiabatic potentials and radial couplings are calculated by using the ab initio multireference single- and double-excitation configuration interaction methods. The differential cross sections for the single charge transfer are presented at the laboratorial energies E = 6 keV and lOkeV for the projectile ^3He^2＋. Comparison with the existing data shows that the present results are better in agreement with the experimental measurements than other calculations in the dominant small angle scattering, which is attributed to the accurate calculations of the adiabatic potentials and the radial couplings.     

Target Residues from the Interaction of Copper with 40MeV/u 40Ar Ions

Cross Sections and average forward recoil range FW were measured for target residues from the interaction of Cu with 40MeV/u ⁴⁰Ar ions using off-line y-ray spectroscopy.The mass yield distribution was obtained with assumption of charge distribution.The linear momentum transfer was calculated from FW values.A comparison with similar results of ¹²C+Cu and ²⁰Ne+Cu reactions indicates that the fractional linear momentum transfer,corresponding to central collisions,decreases with increasing projectile mass at the same energy per nucleon. However,the excitation energy of the composite system created from the collisions of Cu with ⁴⁰Ar ions reached the value of 5.3MeV /u and was higher than those from the collisions with ¹²C and ²⁰Ne ions.

Isotope Ratios of Light Charged Particles and Temperature in the Reactions 30MeV/u40Ar+112,124Sn

Coincidence measurements between residues and light charged particles (LCPs) have been made for the reactions 30MeV/u 40Ar+^112,124Sn. The LCPs were measured by 11 semi-conduct telescopes from very forward angle to backward angle. The times of flight of the residues were measured by PPACs installed concentrically around the beam at forward angle. The excitation energy of the primary hot nuclei was obtained from the velocity of residues in the frame of incomplete fusion model. The single isotope ratios, as function of observing angle and excitation energy have been studied. The ratio of ³He/⁴He and ⁶Li/⁷Li increases with angle while that of ⁶He/⁴He and ⁸Li/⁷Li decreases. The calculation of statistical theory can not reproduce the curve quantitatively, implying the existence of dynamic effect. Isospin effect of the primary hot nuclei on the single isotopic ratios is demonstrated. However, the temperature extracted from double isotope ratios is target independent.

Evidence for Pauli exchange leading to excited-state enhancement in electron transfer

Single- and double-electron transfer to autoionizing 1s2l2l(') configurations in fluorine ions have been investigated for 1.1 MeV/u collisions of F7+ and F8+ with He and Ne. The resulting Auger electron emission spectra show anomolously large intensities for the formation of the metastable 1s(2s2p 3P) 4P state compared to the similarly configured 1s(2s2p 3P) 2P- and 1s(2s2p 1P) 2P+ states. The large 4P intensity, which cannot be explained on the basis of spin statistics, is attributed instead to the Pauli exchange of similarly aligned electrons.     

Hypertriton and light nuclei production at Λ-production subthreshold energy in heavy-ion collisions

High-energy heavy-ion collisions produce abundant hyperons and nucleons. A dynamical coalescence model coupled with the ART model is employed to study the production probabilities of light clusters, deuteron (d), triton (t), helion (³He), and hypertriton (_Λ³H) at subthreshold energy of Λ production (≈ 1 GeV per nucleon). We study the dependence on the reaction system size of the coalescence penalty factor per additional nucleon and entropy per nucleon. The Strangeness Population Factor (S₃ / (³He × (Λ/p))) shows an extra suppression of hypertriton comparing to light clusters of the same mass number. This model predicts a hypertriton production cross-section of a few μb in ³⁶Ar+³⁶Ar, ⁴⁰Ca+⁴⁰Ca and ⁵⁶Ni+⁵⁶Ni in 1 A GeV reactions. The production rate is as high as a few hypertritons per million collisions, which shows that the fixed-target heavy-ion collisions at CSR (Lanzhou/China) at Λ subthreshold energy are suitable for breaking new ground in hypernuclear physics.     

Vibrational relaxation of KrF* and XeCl* by rare gases

A steady-state, chemiluminescence technique has been used to measure effective rate constants for vibrational relaxation as a function of vibrational level for KrF^* in collisions with He, Ne, and Ar and XeCl^* with Ar. The effective rate constants reported include contributions to relaxation due to intersystem crossing between theB andC states, in addition to direct relaxation within theB state. The relevance of these results to the understanding of previous measurements in KrF and XeCl lasers is discussed.
