Abstract
The radiative recombination of a free electron into the 2p3/2 state of bare, highly-charged ions and the subsequent Lyman-α1 (2p3/2→ 1s1/2) decay are studied theoretically. Special attention is paid to the linear polarization of the characteristic X-ray radiation. In particular, it is found that the angular distribution of the Lyman-α1 line polarization is remarkably modified by the interference between the leading electric dipole E1 decay channel and the — much weaker — magnetic quadrupole M2 term. Relativistic calculations have been carried out for the electron capture into bare uranium ion for a wide range of projectile energies.
