Outline of Final Research Achievements |
After a single electron capture of hydrogen-like ions, a forbidden transition from a triplet state to the ground singlet state is expected. The direct observation of the forbidden line with a long life time is the final aim of this project. For this purpose, a Kindgon ion trap has been developed for the storage of the metastable ions. We have measured the total single electron capture cross sections in collisions of the multiply charged ions, which are produced with an electron cyclotron resonance ion source, with neutral gases. Also we have observed the resonance lines following the electron capture collisions of the multiply charges ions with a silicon drift detector and have measured the soft X-ray emission cross sections of the resonance lines. When the project ions are hydrogen-like ions, the difference between the total single electron capture cross sections and the X-ray emission cross sections must be the formation of the triplet state and we found it is dominant processes.
