Slide 9

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


Slide 10

Interest in ion-electron/atom collisions
Applications
• Tokomak and Astrophysical Plasmas
• 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 – N number of electrons
 Isoelectronic sequence study – same N different Z

Project: Investigation of one- and two-electron processes in energetic ion-atom
collisions using high resolution Auger projectile electron spectroscopy
Goal: State-selective cross section measurements of basic atomic collision processes and the investigation of their
collisional energy dependence. Processes include capture, excitation, ionization and combinations such as transferexcitation, transfer-loss, double-electron capture etc. Investigation of dynamic electron correlation effects.
Scientific domain: Atomic collision physics (Basic Research)
Beams: p, Li, B, Be, C, N, O, F and possibly higher Z
Charge-states: bare, one-, two-, three- and four electron ions, i.e. F6-9+ etc.
Intensities:  10 nA
Setup: installed at INP permanently, modifications necessary.
Spectrometer: Electrostatic energy analyzer in magnetically shielded chamber.
Detectors: MCP or channeltron
Targets: differential pumped gas target using H2, He, Ne, Ar etc.

Personnel: 1 Senior scientist, ideally 1 post-doc and or 1 or 2 students
Man-power support by INP (Yes/No – No. of scientists – Mech. Workshop etc.) :
Other details: Will need basic NIM electronic support, 3-4 3-5kV power supplies, 2-3 turbo pumps and data acquisition
and control programs – possibility of collision chamber and spectrometer exists
Is the project part of an international collaboration ? : Yes (Kansas State U., ATOMKI, ITS-LEIF EU network)

Is the project a preparatory work for expmts. abroad ? : Not necessarily but could be
1st TANDEM users meeting, Feb. 3, 2006, INP/Demokritos, Athens


Slide 12

Thank the LIBRA organizers
and the DEMOKRITOS tandem staff for their help so far
And in the future to come

Looking forward to a mutually profitable
collaboration/use of the facility
Will need help setting up and running experiments
all interested parties (particularly students)
are invited to join
