Induced electron capture in field-assisted energetic atomic collisions

We present model considerations for the process of the electron capture in energetic nonrelativstic collisions of light atomic particles in the presence of a relatively weak low-frequency external electromagnetic field. The field is treated as an elliptically polarized quantum single-mode field. Establishing validity of the dipole approximation to the electron transfer (where the total momentum of all emitted or absorbed photons can be well above the typical inneratomic momenta of an electron in the initial and final states) and neglecting the Doppler and aberration effects, we give a fully nonrelativistic treatment for the field-assisted collisions and show that the capture cross section is invariant with respect to the Galilean transformations. The model consideration suggests that the field can substantially influence the capture dynamics and considerably change the capture cross section compared to the field-free collisions. This is especially the case if the “resonance” conditions nω≈±v ²/2 are satisfied, with nω being the energy transferred to or absorbed from the electromagnetic field and v the collision velocity.     

Multiple ionization of atoms and the energy of recoil ions in collisions with fast,multiply charged ions

On the basis of the sudden perturbation approximation and the model of independent electrons, simple analytical expressions are obtained for the cross sections of multiple ionization of atoms and the average energies of recoil ions in collisions between atoms and fast, multiply charged ions in the range of parameters in which the Born approximation is inapplicable. An expression for the energy distribution function of recoil ions is also obtained.Translated from Izvestiya Vysshikh Uchebnykh Zavedenii, Fizika, No. 4, pp. 111–116, April, 1996.     

Cross sections for single and double ionization of atomic helium under impact by fast multiply charged ions

Expressions for the cross sections for single and double ionization of atomic helium in collisions with fast multiply charged ions are obtained in the collision parameter range υ ²≫Z≳υ, υ ₀<c, where Z and υ are, respectively, the ion charge and ion velocity, υ ₀ is the characteristic velocity of electrons in the atomic helium ground state, and c is the velocity of light.

Negative hydrogen-ion neutralization in collisions with fast highly charged ions

The neutralization of negative hydrogen ions is considered for collisions with fast multicharged ions (including relativistic collision velocities) by means of an approach that gives a simple analytic expression for the neutralization cross section in the parameter region where the Born approximation is inapplicable.

Nonlinear bound-free pair creation in the strong electromagnetic fields of a heavy nucleus and an intense x-ray laser

We study e(-)e(+) pair creation in the collision of a heavy nucleus with an intense x-ray laser, where the produced e(-) is simultaneously captured into the K shell of the projectile nucleus. The parameters of the colliding system are chosen such that the absorption of at least two photons from the laser wave is required in order to surmount the energy threshold of the reaction. Considering this fundamental nonlinear strong-field process for the first time, we estimate the total production rate as well as the angular and energetic distributions of the emitted positrons. According to our results, the process of nonlinear bound-free pair creation could become observable by the aid of the upcoming x-ray laser facilities.     

Induced recombination and the possibility of amplifying radiation in a plasma

A study is made of induced photorecombination caused by collisions of electrons with ions (atoms) of a plasma in the presence of a strong electromagnetic field. A negative coefficient of absorption of the radiation is obtained for the recombination of an electron in the discrete state, with subsequent spontaneous radiation decay of the electron. If the autoionized state is present in the continuous spectrum of an atom, then taking photoabsorption into account means that for narrow electron distribution functions the absorption coefficient can be either positive or negative.Translated from Izvestiya Vysshikh Uchebnykh Zavedenii, Fizika, No. 8, pp. 34–38, August, 1987.     

Generation of currents in gases by fast, highly charged ions

It is shown that an exit asymmetry of the electrons and recoil ions formed during ionization of atoms in elementary collision events with fast, highly charged ions can give rise to macroscopic electron and recoil ion currents during the bombardment of a gaseous target by a beam of fast, highly charged ions.
