Polarization ofn=3-terms after electron capture by beam-foil interaction

  • Published:
Zeitschrift für Physik A Atoms and Nuclei

Abstract

The electron capture by protons into excitedn=3 states as function of the distance from the surface is calculated in OBK-approximation. The target electrons are treated as free electron gas bounded by a step potential. Electron loss processes are considered by weighting the density matrix with a survival probability for different capture depths. The result is used to determine the Stokes parameters of the emitted light. Comparison is made with polarization measurements of HeI (n=3) states after beam foil excitation.
