Abstract:We have measured projectile and target x-ray cross sections for F+ Ar and F+ Kr collisions using fluorine beams of charge states 7+, 8+, and 9+ with energies from 20 to 76 MeV. Pronounced enhancements for the Ar K and Kr L vacancy cross sections using F + ions compared to those for the 7+ projectile can be explained by charge exchange as described by an empirically scaled Brinkman-Kramers theory. The Ar L, Kr K, and Kr M cross sections are found to exhibit features expected for Coulomb ionization. The projecti… Show more
“…This value is in excellent agreement with a measurement by Winters et al [19] of 4,100 b. 'Cross sections of Ar and Kr measured by Hopkins et al [24] at overlapping energies are not directly comparable since these measurements were done with higher (q> 7 § charge states and therefore significant deviations are to be expected [19,23]. For 19 MeV F 5+ Tawara et al [25] measured a Si K Xray cross section of (1.63_+0.16).…”

“…The dependence of the X-ray cross sections on the projectile energy is quite satisfactorily reproduced by the BEA calculations, indicating the dominance of direct ionization as vacancy production mechanism. This ionization process seems also to prevail at still higher energies for ion charge states __>7 § [24]. Especially at low projectile velocities, ionization of the Kr L-shell by electron promotion from orbitals connected with the projectile K-shell (3da orbital for example) and the target atom L-shells could be important.…”

We have measured projectile and target X-ray cross sections for F + Si, S, Ar and Kr collisions at projectile energies from 1 to 25 MeV. The experiments were performed under single collision conditions using a differentially pumped gas target. X-rays were measured by a Si(Li) detector and a proportional counter. The experimental cross sections are compared to predictions of theoretical models for direct and quasi-molecular ionization. Effects of multiple ionization that influence the K-shell fluorescence yields were examined using experimental information from line energy shifts and intensity ratios.

“…The cross section values measured using the two detectors agreed with one another to within 5-10% at all the measured energies and charge states of the incident projectile. For absolute normalization, the Ar K x-ray yields were measured, in the same geometry, using 56 and 77 MeV F ion beams in different charge states for which the x-ray cross sections are known (Hopkins et al 1974). It was found that the cross sections derived from the present measurements were slightly lower (by a factor of 1.3) than those obtained by Hopkins et al However, we have used the existing data of Hopkins et al (1974) to normalize our cross section data.…”

We present a combined study of single and double K-K electron transfer cross sections along with the single and double K-shell ionization of Ar induced by Si projectiles in the energy range 0.9-4.0 MeV u −1. The charge-state dependence of the normal and hypersatellite x-rays was used to derive the cross sections for the one-and two-electron processes, respectively. The enhancement in the fluorescence yields due to multiple vacancies was measured from the energy shifts and intensity ratios of the characteristic x-ray lines to derive K-shell vacancy production cross sections from x-ray production cross sections. The ratio of double to single K-K transfer cross sections is found to be quite large for this nearly symmetric collision system, whereas the ratio of double to single ionization cross sections is quite small. The measured single K-K transfer cross sections are reproduced very well by the two-centre close-coupling calculations whereas the double K-K transfer data are underestimated by the theory based on the independent-electron approximation (IEA). The K-shell ionization cross sections are found to deviate strongly from the calculations based on the continuum distorted wave eikonal initial state (CDW-EIS) and ECPSSR models. The CDW-EIS calculations along with the IEA model grossly underestimate the double ionization cross sections. It is stressed that in the case of two-electron processes the independentelectron model breaks down and the possible role of correlations between K-electrons is discussed.
