Title: Polarization measurements of Ne-like Mo32+ x-ray lines excited by an electron beam

Journal Article · · Journal of Physics. B, Atomic, Molecular and Optical Physics

We present polarization measurements of the $$2{{\rm{p}}}^{5}3{\rm{d}}$$ 1 P 1 → 2p6 1 S 0 resonance line of Ne-like Mo32+, commonly known as 3C, as well as the $$2{{\rm{p}}}^{5}3{\rm{d}}$$ 3 D 1 → 2p6 1 S 0 intercombination line, commonly known as 3D, as a function of the electron impact energy ranging from near threshold to 6 times threshold (2.75–15 keV). In addition, the x-ray line polarization of the $$2{{\rm{p}}}^{5}3{\rm{p}}$$ 3 D 2 → 2p6 1 S 0 electric quadrupole forbidden line was measured at 3 and 4 keV. Excitation of these lines was achieved with the LLNL EBIT-I electron beam ion trap. The degree of polarization of the emission lines was derived by comparing spectra recorded with a flat Ge (111) crystal spectrometer, which is sensitive to polarization, to the spectra recorded by an x-ray calorimeter, which is insensitive to polarization. Here, the experimental measurements were compared to theoretical predictions produced using the Flexible Atomic Code, and good agreement was found.
