Improved alternating gradient transport and focusing of neutral molecules
Polar molecules, in strong-field seeking states, can be transported and focused by an alternating sequence of electric field gradients that focus in one transverse direction while defocusing in the other. We show, by calculation and numerical simulation, how one may greatly improve the alternating gradient transport and focusing of molecules. We use a new optimized multipole lens design, a FODO-lattice beam transport line, and lenses to match the beam transport line to the beam source and to the final focus. We derive analytic expressions for the potentials, fields, and gradients that may be used to design these lenses. We describe a simple lens optimization procedure and derive the equations of motion for tracking molecules through a beam transport line. As an example, we model a straight beamline that transports a 560 m/s jet-source beam of methyl fluoride15 m from its source and focuses it to 2 mm diameter. We calculate the beam transport line acceptance and beam survival, for a beam with a velocity spread, and estimate the transmitted intensity for specified source conditions. Possible applications are discussed.

Slowing and cooling molecules and neutral atoms by time-varying electric-field gradients
A method of slowing, accelerating, cooling, and bunching molecules and neutral atoms using time-varying electric-field gradients is demonstrated with cesium atoms in a fountain. The effects are measured and found to be in agreement with our calculations. Time-varying electric-field-gradient slowing and cooling is applicable to atoms that have large dipole polarizabilities, including atoms that are not amenable to laser slowing and cooling, to Rydberg atoms, and to molecules, especially polar molecules with large electric dipole moments. The possible applications of this method include slowing and cooling thermal beams of atoms and molecules, launching cold atoms from a trap into a fountain, and measuring atomic dipole polarizabilities.

Capture, ionization, and pair-production processes in relativistic heavy-ion collisions in the 1-GeV/nucleon energy range
The cross sections for capture, ionization, capture from pair production, and free pair production were measured for 0.96-GeV/nucleon U and 0.405-, 0.96-, and 1.3-GeV/nucleon La ions incident on Au, Ag, and Cu targets. The cross sections for capture from pair production, free pair production, ionization, and total capture (the sum of capture from pair production, radiative electron capture, and nonradiative capture) are analyzed as a function of collision energy, projectile, and target atomic numbers. We find that, when the collision energy is increased from 0.405 GeV/nucleon to 1.3 GeV/nucleon, the capture from pair production and the free pair production cross sections increase by almost a factor of 6, while the capture cross section decreases by two orders of magnitude. The ionization cross section is found to vary very weakly with the collision energy in the 1-GeV/nucleon energy range. We found a dependence of free pair production cross sections on the target and projectile atomic number to be close to , characteristic of an ionizationlike process. We also found a dependence of the capture from pair production cross sections on the target atomic number to be usually steeper than , and on the projectile atomic number, somewhat steeper than the , characteristic of a capturelike process. Theory and experiment are in some disagreement for capture from pair production, and free pair production, cross sections, but are in general agreement for the other capture processes and for ionization.- 1 October 1997

Projectile Energy and Atomic Number Dependence of Electron Capture from Pair Production in Relativistic Heavy Ion Collisions
We report the first measurement of the energy dependence of electron capture from electron-positron pair production in relativistic heavy ion collisions. For a beam incident on Au, Ag, and Cu targets at energies of 0.405, 0.956, and 1.3 GeV/u we find that the cross sections for capture from pair production and the free pair production process increase with increasing collision energy at similar rates. Combining with uranium data reported previously gives a projectile atomic number dependence for 0.956 GeV/u ions on a Au target of for capture from pair production and for the free pair production process.- 31 October 1994

Relativistic electron- and proton-impact ionization of highly stripped heavy ions determined from projectile-electron loss inH2and He
We show that electron- and proton-impact ionization cross sections for highly stripped heavy ions can be deduced from the projectile-electron-loss cross sections determined by collisions with a and a He target. We measure electron loss for 100- and 380-MeV/u , and 405-MeV/u in and He targets, and extract the electron- and proton-impact ionization cross sections. Our results are compared with calculations and with channeling experiments.- 1 March 1993

Multiple ionization in relativistic heavy-ion–atom collisions
We show that in relativistic heavy-ion collisions the independent-electron model can be used to predict cross sections for multiple inner-shell ionization in a single collision. Charge distributions of 430- and 955-MeV/amu , , , and beams emerging from thin solid targets were used to obtain single- and multiple-electron stripping cross sections. The probabilities of stripping electrons from the K, L, or M shells were calculated using the semiclassical approximation and Dirac hydrogenic wave functions. The data generally agree with theory. An influence of the Auger effect is seen in collisions.- 1 February 1987
