چکیده

We calculate the lowest-order contribution to the cross section for simultaneous excitation of projectile and target nuclei in relativistic heavy ion collisions. This process is, to leading order, non-classical and adds incoherently to the well-studied semi-classical Weizsäcker-Williams cross section. While the leading contribution to the cross section is down by only 1/Z P from the semiclassical process, and consequently of potential importance for understanding data from light projectiles, we find that phase space considerations render the cross section utterly negligible.

Signatures of molecular single-particle states by level crossings in heavy ion collisions

In heavy ion collisions, the molecular single-particle motion may cause specific structures in the energy dependence of the cross sections which anse by the promotion of nucleons at level crossings according to the Landau-Zener excitation mechanism. In order to examine this effect in asymmetric heavy ion collisions, we have calculated level diagrams of the two-center shell model for the target ...

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...

Quantum-mechanical equivalent-photon spectrum for heavy-ion physics.

In a previous paper, we calculated the fully quantum-mechanical cross section for electromagnetic excitation during peripheral heavy-ion collisions. Here, we examine the sensitivity of that cross section to the detailed structure of the projectile and target nuclei. At the transition energies relevant to nuclear physics, we find the cross section to be weakly dependent on the projectile charge ...

Isospin Equilibration in Relativistic Heavy-ion Collisions * †

We study the kinetic and chemical equilibration of projectile and target nucleons in relativistic heavy-ion collisions in the energy regime between 150 AMeV and 2 AGeV in a coupled-channel BUU (CBUU) approach. We find that equilibrium in the projectile-target degrees of freedom is in general not reached even for large systems at low energy where elastic nucleon-nucleon collisions dominate. Inel...

Target material dependence of secondary electron images induced by focused ion beams

Monte Carlo calculation of ion-induced kinetic secondary electron emission was performed to study the target material dependence of secondary electron images in scanning ion microscopy (SIM) by using focused ion beams, which is different from that in scanning electron microscopy (SEM). In the calculation, the electron excitation by projectile ions is treated using the partial wave scattering cr...
