Polarization Measurements in Radiative Electron Capture into High-Z Ions

摘要

Recently, there has been great interest in the linear polarization of photons produced by radiative electron capture (REC, the time reversed photoionization in ion-atom collisions). No such data are available for the high-Z regime till now. By using high efficiency by by a new generation of segmented germanium detectors that have energy as well as position resolution this field can be investigated experimentally. The
