Rw. Mccullough et al., STATE-SELECTIVE ELECTRON-CAPTURE BY 4 KEV STATE-PREPARED BEAMS OF GROUND-STATE AND METASTABLE C2+ IONS, Physica scripta. T, T73, 1997, pp. 179-181
A new apparatus employing double translational energy spectroscopy has
been used to study state-selective electron capture by 4keV beams of
pure S-1 ground state and pure P-3 metastable C2+ ions in collisions w
ith He and H-2. In each case the main excited product channels have be
en unambiguously identified and their relative importance established.
