Structure of Multiply Ionized Heavy Ions and Associated Collision Phenomena

Abstract

This proposal is for continuation of the operating support of on- going research on the atomic structure of highly ionized ions and associated collision phenomena. Experiments concerning multiply ionized ions in the range Z = 3 - 36 and as broad as possible an energy range are presently being carried out. The primary objective of our research remains the study of atomic structure of multiply ionized heavy ions and their modes of formation and destruction in collisions. Decay of excited states of these ions by radiative and also by electron emission processes is the phenomena observed in carrying out these experiments. Our principal tools are suitable sources and accelerators of multiply charged ions; x-ray, soft x-ray, and extreme ultraviolet spectrometers; electron spectrometers; lasers; on-line computer gear; and a variety of peripheral equipment associated with these devices.
