Superelastic Scattering Of Electrons From Highly Charged Ions With Inner Shell Vacancies

Description

We report the measurement of electrons scattered superelastically from highly charged ions having an initial K -shell vacancy. In this process, the scattered electron gains ∼725 eV of energy from the deexcitation of an excited He-like F7+( 1s2sS3) metastable ion to its ground state. Theoretical calculations based on an R -matrix approach agree well in position, shape, and magnitude with the experimental data
