Energy-gain spectroscopy of electron-capture collisions between low-energy Ar and Ne projectiles and atomic and molecular deuterium targets

Journal Article · · Phys. Rev. A; (United States)
Translational energy-gain spectroscopy is used to determine the final-state (nl) populations following single-electron capture by Ar/sup q//sup +/ (q = 4--8) and Ne/sup q//sup +/ (q = 4--7) projectiles in atomic and molecular deuterium targets at an energy of 545q eV. The importance of kinematics in analyzing these systems is discussed. The final-state populations are found to be very sensitive to the energy-level structure of the collision system. The results are interpreted in terms of a ''reaction window'' in the energy gain which is calculated using a multichannel Landau-Zener model.
