项目摘要

Multi-electronic excited states which are produced by multi-electron capture reaction of highly charged ions in collisions with neutral molecules are known as hollow atoms because their inner shells have vacancies while the outer shells have occupied by a lot of electrons. If kinetic energies and ejected angles of more than two Auger electrons which are ejected from the hollow atom at the same time are measured, we can regard the experimental result as the direct observation the electron correlation effect. In order to obtain a wide solid angle and sufficient energy resolution, we have chosen the combination of a magnetic-trap-type drift tube with weak magnetic field and a two-dimensional position sensitive detector. A detector which can be used in the magnetic field and has high speed response is necessary for this experimental setup. We have contrived a new detector which using a resistive film anode combined with a modified backgammon with weighted capacitors readout pad and have developed it successfully. In time of-flight measurements using a high-speed digital oscilloscope, we have achieved a very good time resolution of less than 1 ns by the developing of a new algorithm for analysis of time spectra. Highly charged ions are provided by an electron cyclotron resonance ion source in Tokyo Metropolitan University. For the time-of-flight measurements, the ion beam is chopped by an electric pulse applied to an electrode. As a target gas, we have prepared a supersonic molecular beam for obtaining good time and spatial resolutions. Finally we have constructed an apparatus for the multi-Auger electron spectroscopy with the combination of some devices described above. In this setup, the charge of ions after both of the electron capture and the electron emission should be analyzed for the coincidence measurements with the ejected electrons which give us the information about the electronic states of the hollow atoms.

高电荷离子与中性分子碰撞时发生多电子捕获反应而产生的多电子激发态，由于其内壳层有空位，而外壳层被大量电子占据，因此被称为空心原子。如果测量同时从空心原子中射出的两个以上俄歇电子的动能和射出角，则可以将实验结果视为电子关联效应的直接观察。为了获得较宽的立体角和足够的能量分辨率，我们选择了弱磁场磁阱式漂移管与二维位置敏感探测器的组合。该实验装置需要一个可在磁场中使用且具有高速响应的探测器。我们设计了一种新型探测器，采用电阻膜阳极与带有加权电容器读出垫的改进双陆棋相结合，并已开发成功。在使用高速数字示波器进行飞行时间测量时，我们通过开发一种新的时间谱分析算法，实现了小于 1 ns 的非常好的时间分辨率。高电荷离子由东京都立大学的电子回旋共振离子源提供。对于飞行时间测量，离子束被施加到电极的电脉冲斩波。作为目标气体，我们制备了超声分子束以获得良好的时间和空间分辨率。最后，我们结合上述一些装置构建了多俄歇电子能谱装置。在此设置中，应分析电子捕获和电子发射后的离子电荷，以便与发射的电子进行符合测量，从而为我们提供有关空心原子电子态的信息。
