Work Package 9: Analysis and presentation of new results

Figure 1: One of the first measurements using 12 MeV C4+ + Ne(20mTorr) taken in July 28, 2014 with the new data acquisition system. W=1525 eV F=4. The big spot on the PSD is the 1s2s2p 4P line of C3+ while the next two lines the 1s2s2p 2P- and 1s2s2p 2P+. Slight misalignment of peaks along the x-direction caused by insufficient mu-metal shielding between gas cell and spectrometer. The individual projections along the x-direction (energy dispersion axis) and the y-direction (focusing axis) are seen on the right together with the signal from the sum of all 4 signals.

Figure 2: Same as for Fig. 1, but with additional mu-metal shielding installed between gas cell and collision chamber. All peaks are now seen to be aligned.

Figure 3: (a) Measured zero-degree Auger emission spectra for 12 MeV C4+ mixed beam (1s2+, 1s2s 3S) state in collisions with Ne, He, H2 and Ar. The resulting Auger lines have been identified as belonging to the three-electron electron states 1s2l2l΄ 2,4L indicated. The spectra have been transformed to the rest frame of the projectile and the electron yield has been normalized to the incident beam current and gas pressure. (b): As in (α) but for 18 MeV C4+ beam in collisions with Ne and Ar gas targets. (c): Experimentally determined ratios (left scale) for R = 4P / (2P+ +2P_) and (right scale in red) for R΄ = 2P+/2P- of the production cross sections of (a) and (b). Also shown for comparison are the results of the previously published experimental data from WMU [16]. Corrections for both the 1s2s2p 4P life time effects and TE have also been included.Results presented at CDAMOP 2015 meeting in New Delhi and will appear as a proceedings publication .

Title:

WP9: Analysis and presentation of new results

Description:

Research Teams:

RT1, RT2, RT3, RT4

9.1 Homebuilt Software for data analysis: Typical data analysis has to do with fitting Auger lines (with specialized peak fitting software) and extracting the absolute single and double differential cross sections as a function of collision energy. The technique of 00Auger projectile spectroscopy is well known for its ability to obtain such results for each state, as long as the observed states are well resolved in the spectra. This allows for very stringent tests of theory

9.2 Analysis of all data: Total production cross sections will also be determined using theoretical structure information (usually Hartree-Fock codes like Cowan’s etc. [Zou08a]) for the Auger yield and the angular distribution probability.

9.3 Presentation of new results within research groups: From the determined cross sections for the 4P and the 2P lines we shall eventually extract a value for the ratio R as a function of collision energy. Cascade contributions will be computed using various codes already developed by Zouros and Sulik [Zou08a].

9.4 Discussions of new results - reevaluation of what to measure: We also have extensive contact with theorists who will be interested to compare their calculations to our new data.

Deliverables:

1 Report and part of BS, MS or PhD thesis, software data analysis programs
