Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In this work, we study experimentally wake effects on the fast-molecular transmission through nanocapillaries. The purpose of this study is to obtain information about the molecular alignment due to the electron polarization wakes induced by glancing scattering of molecular ions with capillary walls. The experiment was carried out using a single-ended 4 MV Van de Graaff accelerator at Quantum Science Engineering Center, Kyoto University. A well-collimated beam of 1.0 MeV HeH+ ions with a beam divergence angle less than 0.2 mrad was directed into Al2O3 nanocapillaries. The outgoing energy of transmitted particles (dissociated fragments of H+ and He1,2+ ions and non-fragment HeH+ ions) was measured as a function of the emergent angle, using a high resolution magnetic spectrometer. We observed that split energy distributions as well as asymmetric intensities for the dissociated fragments of H+ and He1,2+ ions, and found that polarization wakes arise at an inner wall of capillary.
