Resonant Transfer Excitation Followed by Auger-Electron Emission for Ne-like Ions

In ion-atom (I/A) collision, resonant transfer excitation followed by Auger emission (RTEA) is a complementary process to resonant transfer excitation followed by X-rays (RTEX). In both processes positive ions are assumed to collide with molecular H2-target or atomic He-targets. RTEA and RTEX are related to the resonance excitation (RE) and dielectronic recombination (DR) in electron-ion collisions. The cross sections of RTEA and RE are related under the validity of the conditions of impulse approximation, in which the ionic projectiles must move with very high velocity. RTEA are calculated for Ne-like ions with L-shell excitation. The database generated for Auger and radiative decay rates in LS coupling scheme. RTEA processes proceed through formation of resonance R states. These R-states have a general form 2p5n1 l 1n2 l 2 ; n1 = 3, 4 and n2 ≥ 4. It is found that RTEA cross sections exhibit a one-peak behavior with a peak value 1.6 x 10-18 cm2 when it collides with H2 as a target. This peak value decreases to 0.488x10-18 cm2 in case of Se24+
