Investigation of heavy ion atom collision processes and applications of atomic and nuclear analytical techniques

Abstract

A proper uncertainty measurement through L shell ionization cross-section was described. Measurement as well as theoretical prediction of the charge state distribution of the projectile ion inside the solid target was reported, which has been a great challenge for decades. It has been done by using K-shell ionization cross-section measurements by heavy-ion (Si) bombardment on solid targets (Cu, Zn, Ge). The x-ray spectra for Ne projectile and Al target at the low energy regime (90 and 95keV/amu) were recorded. The two electron one photon transition was studied for the recorded spectra. The clear signature of two electron one photon transition for the target as well as the projectile was found. PIGE and PIXE spectroscopies were applied for the determination of low, medium and high Z elements in coal and coal residues of regional thermal power plants. newline
