Intermediate-velocity atomic collisions. III. Electron capture in 8. 6- MeV/amu Ca ions

Journal Article · · Phys. Rev. A; (United States)

Electron-capture cross sections by 8.6-MeV/amu Ca/sup 18+/, Ca/sup 19+/, and Ca/sup 20+/ beams were measured in gas targets from H/sub 2/ to Xe. Measurements were made of total electron capture as well as of electron capture in coincidence with projectile K x rays. Comparison with the eikonal approximation shows a reasonable agreement with the experimental data. The effect of various metastable states of the heliumlike Ca/sup 18+/ ion created by electron capture for Ca/sup 19+/ projectiles is analyzed, showing that these states play an important role in the detected x-ray yields.
