  8. Ion-atom/electron interactions: Investigation of the Coulomb force • Force is Coulomb: • Potential usually known - can write down a Hamiltonian • Calculate emission or interaction cross sections • Difficulties: many particles, long range force, correlation effects • Model calculations • Develop theoretical and experimental techniques • Test approximations Mature field – more than 40 years old – negative population growth!

  9. Interest in ion-electron/atom collisions Applications • Tokomak and AstrophysicalPlasmas • Accelerator technology - Storage rings • Radiation damage – cancer therapy • Basic atomic collisions • Use HCI and simple targets – few-electron systems • Study ion excitation rather than target excitation: • Control charge state q of ion –Nnumber of electrons • Isoelectronic sequence study – same N different Z Recent review:Electron-Ion scattering, I. Williams, Rep. Prog. Phys. 62 (1999) 1431

  26. What’s the use of a quasi-free electron? • >106higher luminositycompared to • crossed electron-ion beam experiments! • Measure scattering at 1800 (very sensitive)! • Include also resonances • (e- energy dependence – d2/dEd)! • No UHV • Spectrum in 30 minutes! Sounds great but is it really electron-ion scattering???

  30. quasi-free electron scattering provides the only way to presently observe differential RES! (particularly at the large scattering angles) Summary and Conclusion • Large-angle differential electron – ion scattering provides some of the most stringent tests of both atomic structure and collision dynamics • State-of-the-art DDCS calculations (R-matrix) for free electron • scattering from He-like and H-like ions are in excellent agreement with • quasi-free electron experiments involving ion-H2 collisions over a wide • energy region and many resonances quasi-free electron scattering is real electron scattering! (remember Compton scattering – electrons there also really quasi-free!)

  31. Future • Improve apparatus – add first stage and double differential target • Use Li vapor target that has narrower Compton profile – (Laser-excited) Rydberg Li target? • Expand studies to include: many electron targets higher Z ions or L shells • Incorporate zero-degree electron spectrometer system in a storage ring??!!

  37. Summary and conclusions • 1800 Elastic e--Ion Scattering measurements • First differential observation of RES for He-like ions • First isoelectronic sequence study of triply-excited state • R-matrix calculations • Overall good agreement with the measurements • ESM seems to be a very good approximation • Quasi-free e- scattering provides unique data: • Not impaired by broad Compton profile!!! • No problem with convolution of Compton profile!!!
