Studies of Autoionizing States Relevant to Dielectronic Recombination: Progress Report, July 1, 1986-June 30, 1987

摘要

Systematic studies of the Sr 5pns and 5pnd autoionizing states are described. Specifically the experimental determination of energy levels and autoionization rates and interchannel interaction from the total excitation spectra is described as well as the quantum defect theory analysis of these diverse data leading to the determination of a few physically significant parameters. In addition measurements of the angular and energy distributions of the ejected electrons using a recently constructed energy analyzer are described. Finally, the development of the theoretical framework to analyze these data is described. (ERA citation 12:023799)
