Excitation of atoms and molecules in collisions with fast, highly charged ions: Progress report for the period January 1, 1988 to February 28, 1989

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:6399047

This report summarizes progress in research supported by DOE Grant FG05-84ER13262 during the period January 1, 1988 to February 29, 1989. The research program continues to emphasize the investigation of multielectron ionization and capture processes in fast heavy-ion collisions. Several major projects were completed this year and a number of new ones begun. Among the completed projects were an investigation of resonant multielectron transfer to double K-vacancy states in solid oxygen compounds, and a study of collisional quenching of 2/sup 3/P and 2/sup 4/P states in 33 MeV two- and three-electron Mg ions. New projects include a systematic investigation of the projectile charge dependence of cross sections for Ar recoil-ion production in 1 MeV/amu oxygen ion collisions production, and a design study for an atomic physics beam line to be connected to an electron-cyclotron-resonance (ECR) ion source. Work on molecular fragmentation in heavy-ion collisions continued.
