To measure ionic charge-state distributions and determine complete sets of electron capture and loss cross sections for fast bromine ions passing through dilute gases.
Passed bromine ions at energies of 13.9 and 25 MeV from a tandem accelerator through dilute gas targets of hydrogen (H2), helium (He), and argon (Ar).
Developed and applied a least-squares technique to derive complete sets of electron charge-exchange cross sections across measured nonequilibrium charge distributions.
Observed characteristic irregularities in single-electron capture cross sections directly linked to the atomic shell structure of the bromine ions.
Determined and evaluated multiple electron capture, multiple electron loss, and equilibrium charge-state distributions across the target gases.
