State-Selective Quantum Interference Observed in the Recombination of Highly ChargedHg75+78+Mercury Ions in an Electron Beam Ion Trap

Abstract: We present experimental data on the state-selective quantum interference between different pathways of photorecombination, namely, radiative and dielectronic recombination, in the KLL resonances of highly charged mercury ions. The interference, observed for well resolved electronic states in the Heidelberg electron beam ion trap, manifests itself in the asymmetry of line shapes, characterized by "Fano factors," which have been determined with unprecedented precision, as well as their excitation energies, for s… Show more

“…The ion is then left in a (usually) doubly-excited state which can decay radiatively, completing the DR process. Extended experimental and theoretical investigations on DR with highly charged ions (HCI) have been carried out in recent years by various groups (e. g. [3][4][5][6][7][8]). Usually, DR is described in an independent-particle model, only taking into account the interaction between the two electrons involved -the initially free one and an active bound one.…”

“…An EBIT is a useful device for studying DR processes of highly charged heavy ions since it has a (quasi-)monoenergetic electron beam whose energy can be easily and rapidly controlled [16,17]. By using the Tokyo-EBIT, we have been studying DR processes through both X-ray observations [18] and ion abundance measurements [19,20].…”
