Projectile charge changing correlated with K-x-ray emission in O 5+ + He and Ar collisions

Abstract

Projectile and target K-x-ray emission associated with projectile charge changing was investigated for 12-30 MeV O5+ + He and Ar collisions. Negligible projectile x-ray emission was observed in coincidence with projectile electron capture or loss, while target x-ray emission correlated to projectile charge changing was seen. Differential cross sections were measured for correlated and uncorrelated x-ray emission.
