Simultaneous electron capture and excitation in S+Ar collisions

Description

Electron capture accompanied by simultaneous K-shell excitation has been observed for 70-MeV S13++Ar collisions. This process is analogous to dielectronic recombination for the case of free electrons incident on highly charged ions. In addition, radiation following capture into high-n states without accompanying excitation is measured for charge states q = 14+ to 16+. The results are used to determine the fraction of capture events which result in K-shell radiation, and the fraction of K x rays resulting from capture events
