摘要:
配备电子冷却装置的重离子储存环为开展高电荷态离子的双电子复合(dielectronic recombination,DR)精密谱学研究提供了绝佳的实验平台。本工作在兰州重离子加速器冷却储存环主环(HIRFL-CSRm)上开展了类锂
36,40Ar
15+离子的双电子复合实验,实验观测了电子-离子质心系能量范围为0~35 eV的双电子复合速率系数谱。通过外推法获得了
36,40Ar
15+离子2
s1/2→2
p1/2和2
s1/2→2
p3/2的跃迁能量。同时利用GRASP2K程序理论计算了
36,40Ar
15+离子2
s1/2→2
p1/2和2
s1/2→2
p3/2跃迁的质量移动因子和场移动因子,进而得到双电子复合谱的同位素移动值。
36,40Ar
15+离子2
s1/2→2
p1/2和2
s1/2→2
p3/2同位素移动分别为0.861 meV和0.868 meV。它们均小于目前CSRm上双电子复合实验的实验分辨为~10 meV,进而解释了实验测量的DR谱上未能观察到同位素移动的原因。然而,高电荷态离子的同位素移动场效应与原子序数Z
5成正比,因此,在重离子加速器冷却储存环实验环(HIRFL-CSRe)以及未来大型加速器——强流重离子加速器装置(HIAF)上有望通过DR精密谱学方法研究高电荷态重离子甚至放射性离子的同位素移动,进而获得相关原子核的核电荷半径等信息。
The cooler storage ring is equipped with an electron-cooler. It is an excellent experimental platform for dielectronic recombination (DR) experiment of highly-charged ions. In this paper, the dielectronic recombination experiments of lithium-like Ar
15+ ions with mass number 36 and 40 are conducted at the HIRFL-CSRm(main ring of the Cooling Storage Ring of Heavy Ion Research Facility in Lanzhou). The experimental electron-ion collision energy scale is from 0 eV to 35 eV. Extrapolation method is exploited to obtain the excitation energies of transitions 2
s1/2→2
p1/2 and 2
s1/2→2
p3/2 of the
36,40Ar
15+ ions from experimental data. Meanwhile, GRASP2K program is utilized to calculate the mass shift factors and field shift factors of
36,40Ar
15+ ions for 2
s1/2→2
p1/2 and 2
s1/2→2
p3/2 transitions to obtain isotope shifts in DR spectra. In theoretical calculation, isotope shifts of
36,40Ar
15+ ions corresponding to 2
s1/2→2
p1/2 and 2
s1/2→2
p3/2 are 0.861 meV and 0.868 meV, respectively. They are both less than the experimental precision (~10 meV) of these dielectronic recombination experiments at the CSRm, which explains that isotope shifts cannot be distinguished from the experimental dielectronic recombination spectra. However, the field shift of highly-charged ions is proportional to
Z5. In the future, the dielectronic recombination experiments of highly-charged heavy ions even radioactive ions will be conducted at the HIRFL-CSRe (experimental ring of the Cooling Storage Ring of Heavy Ion Research Facility in Lanzhou) and the future large accelerator facility——HIAF(High intensity Heavy-ion Accelerator Facility) to measure isotope shifts to obtain the nuclear charge radius information.
