Electron Transfer Experiments and Atomic Magnetism Values. Progress Report, February 1, 1975--September 30, 1975

Description: Progress in the first seven months of this new research is described. A new apparatus was constructed, tested and moved to Oak Ridge National Laboratory for studies using the Penning ion source test facility. Preliminary electron transfer cross section results for N$sup 4+$, N$sup 5+$, He$sup 2+$ and C$sup 5+$ ions on gases were obtained. Energy loss measurements made to date support expectations that single electron transfer for multiply-charged ions colliding with gas atoms produces excited f… more

Dynamics of nonreactive inelastic ion--molecule collisions

Description: Thesis. A tandem electrostatic energy analyzer molecular beam apparatus was built for studying low energy inelastic 180 deg scattering of alkali ions from molecules. A beam of essentially monoenergetic ions is produced by a first analyzer and is focused on the center of a scattering cell containing essentially stationary molecules. Ions which are not significantly deflected in their laboratory motion after collisions with the molecules are energy analyzed with a second analyzer.'Ine scattered b… more

Vibrational inelasticity in H$sub 2$ collisions with He and Li$sup +$

Description: The partially averaged version of classical S-matrix theory was applied to three-dimensional collisions of H$sub 2$ with He and Li$sup +$. For H$sub 2$- Li$sup +$, cross-sections for the de-excitation of H$sub 2$ from (n$sub 1$,j$sub 1$) = (1,0) to the ground vibrational manifold were computed at a total energy of 1.2 eV and compared to previously done coupled channel calculations of Schaefer and Lester. The agreement is very good. For H$sub 2$-He, the Kutzelnigg- Tsapline interaction potential… more

Theoretical atomic collision physics. Final report, July 1, 1987-- June 30, 1995

Description: This is the final report of research activities supported by the most recent grant to the theoretical atomic collision physics program at Rice University. For this most recent 3-year grant, the focus has been the study of excitation and charge-transfer in atom-atom and ion-atom collisions. Emphasis has been placed on low-velocity collision processes involving initially excited atoms, including ``low Rydberg`` atoms. Two particular objectives of this research were to examine the dependence of st… more

Negative ion beam processes

Description: Los Alamos Scientific Laboratory fiscal year 1975 work on production of intense, very bright, negative hydrogen (H$sup -$), ion beams and conversion of a high-energy (a few hundred MeV) negative beam into a neutral beam are described. The ion source work has used a cesium charge exchange source that has produced H$sup -$ ion beams greater than or equal to 10 mA (about a factor of 10 greater than those available 1 yr ago) with a brightness of 1.4 x 10$sup 9$ A/m$sup 2$- rad$sup 2$ (about 18 time… more

Measurement of charge exchange cross sections for highly charged xenon and thorium ions with molecular hydrogen in a Penning Ion Trap

Description: Highly charged xenon (35+ to 46+) and thorium (72+ to 79+) ions were produced in an Electron Beam Ion Trap (EBIT). The ions were extracted from EBIT in a short pulse. Ions of one charge state were selected using an electromagnet. The ions were recaptured at low energy in a cryogenic Penning trap (RETRAP). As the ions captured electrons from molecular hydrogen, populations of the various charge states were obtained by measuring the image currents induced by the ions on the electrodes of the trap… more

Final Technical Report

Description: This document comprises the final technical report for atomic collisions research supported by DOE grant No. DE-FG02-87ER13778 from September 1, 2001 through August 31, 2004. The research involved the experimental investigation of excitation and charge-changing processes occurring in ion-atom and ion-molecule collisions. Major emphases of the study were: (1) interference effects resulting from coherent electron emission in H2, (2) production of doubly vacant K-shell (hollow ion) states due to e… more

Double and single ionization of He and H{sub 2} by slow protons and antiprotons

Description: Double and single ionization of He and H{sub 2} by proton (p) and antiproton ({bar p})impact in the energy region below 50 keV was studied theoretically by using the semiclassical molecular picture. As the energy decreased, the ratio of the double- to the single-ionization cross section increased for impact and decreased for p impact for both He and H{sub 2}. These trends are consistent with recent measurements for He. Ionization mechanisms differ distinctly for p impact and {bar p} impact. For… more

Applying ion-molecule reactions to studies of gas-phase protein structure

Description: Whether solution phase differences in protein higher order structure persist in the gas phase, is examined by means of proton transfer reactions on ions generated by electrospray ionization of different solution conformations. Ion-molecule reactions were carried out in the atmosphere-vacuum interface of a quadrupole mass spectrometer with a Y-shaped capillary inlet-reactor. An amine (dimethyl-, trimethyl-, or diethyl-) were delivered to one inlet arm. Reactivities of bovine cytochrome c ions sp… more
