Spectroscopy of Superheavy Quasimolecules

  • Chapter
Quantum Electrodynamics of Strong Fields

Part of the book series: NATO Advanced Study Institutes Series ((NSSB,volume 80))

Abstract

A systematical investigation of 1sσ-ionization probabilities and δ-electron production rates in heavy ion collisions is performed. We present their charge dependence from Z1+Z2 = 134 up to Z1+Z2 = 184 and compare our results with recent experimental data. The influence of electron screening on vacancy formation and the possibility to use δ-electron spectra in collisions with nuclear sticking as an ‘atomic clock’ are also discussed. Strong magnetic fields (|Bmax|~1016G) in heavy ion collisions are expected to cause spin polarizations of the 1sσ-vacancies and emitted δ-electrons in the order of 5–10%.
