Abstract

The Kansas State University linac has been used to measure the ratio of the cross sections for the processes of transfer ionization (TI) and single capture (SC) for 2 MeV/amu Clq+ where q = 7, 9, 13, 14, and 15 projectile ions incident on a helium target. The ratio was determined using a helium gas jet target by measuring coincidences between projectile-ion and recoil-ion final charge states. The σTI σSC for Clq+ were compared to measurements of bare F9+ and hydrogenlike F8+ and O7+ taken at the same velocity. The ratios deviate from a q2 scaling which is predicted in the perturbative regime. This deviation is attributed to screening by the projectile electrons for low q = 7 and 9, and to the collision being non-perturbative for high q. A possible saturation effect in the ratio was observed for q ∼ 14.
