Coulomb excitation of Tb159, Ho165 and Tm169 with O16 ions

Alignment of heavy, few-electron ions following Coulomb excitation in collisions with light targets

In relativistic ion-atom and ion-electron collisions, different processes are known that lead to the formation of excited or ionized states of the projectile ions. In their subsequent de-excitation, the ions then often emit one (or several) x-ray photons until the ionic ground state is reached. From the analysis of this ‘characteristic’ radiation, important information can be obtained about the...

Using Coulomb Excitation

"Safe" Coulomb excitation of 30Mg.

We report on the first radioactive beam experiment performed at the recently commissioned REX-ISOLDE facility at CERN in conjunction with the highly efficient gamma spectrometer MINIBALL. Using 30Mg ions accelerated to an energy of 2.25 MeV/u together with a thin (nat)Ni target, Coulomb excitation of the first excited 2+ states of the projectile and target nuclei well below the Coulomb barrier ...
