Electron Capture by Highly Charged Ions from Surfaces and Gases
In this study highly charged ions produced in Electron Beam Ion Traps are used to investigate electron capture from surfaces and gases. The experiments with gas targets focus on spectroscopic measurements of the K-shell x-rays emitted at the end of radiative cascades following electron capture into Rydberg states of Ar and Ar ions as a function of collision energy. The ions are extracted from a...
متن کاملNonperturbative character of electron-positron pair production in relativistic heavy-ion collisions.
In recent years, a large number of papers have appeared that dealt with e+e− pair production in heavy ion collisions at high energies. To a large extent these studies were motivated by the existence of relativistic heavy ion accelerators all over the world. There pair production can be studied in so called “ultra-peripheral collisions”, where the ions do not come close enough to interact strong...
متن کاملCalculation of Higher Order Effects in Electron-Positron Pair Production in Relativistic Heavy Ion Collisions
We present a calculation of higher order effects for the impact parameter dependent probability for single and multiple electron-positron pairs in (peripheral) relativistic heavy ion collisions. Also total cross sections are given for SPS and RHIC energies. We make use of the expression derived recently by several groups where the summation of all higher orders can be done analytically in the h...
متن کاملElectron-positron pair production in the external electromagnetic field of colliding relativistic heavy ions
The results concerning the e+e− production in peripheral highly relativistic heavy-ion collisions presented in a recent paper by Baltz et al. are rederived in a very straightforward manner. It is shown that the solution of the Dirac equation directly leads to the multiplicity, i.e. to the total number of electronpositron pairs produced by the electromagnetic field of the ions, whereas the calcu...
متن کاملBound-Free Electron-Positron Pair Production in Relativistic Heavy Ion Collisions
We study the bound-free electron-positron pair production in relativistic heavy ion collisions to different bound states in a full Plane Wave Born Approximation (PWBA) calculation. Exact Dirac wave functions are used for both the bound electron and the free positron in the final states. Results for the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider RHIC as well as the forthcoming Large Hadron Collider (LHC) a...
