Electron gas polarization effect induced by heavy H-like ions of moderate velocities channeled in a silicon crystal
We report on the observation of a strong perturbation of the electron gas
induced by 20 MeV/u U ions and 13 MeV/u Pb ions channeled in
silicon crystals. This collective response (wake effect) in-duces a shift of
the continuum energy level by more than 100 eV, which is observed by means of
Radiative Electron Capture into the K and L-shells of the projectiles. We also
observe an increase of the REC probability by 20-50% relative to the
probability in a non-perturbed electron gas. The energy shift is in agreement
with calculations using the linear response theory, whereas the local electron
density enhancement is much smaller than predicted by the same model. This
shows that, for the small values of the adiabaticity parameter achieved in our
experiments, the density fluctuations are not strongly localized at the
vicinity of the heavy ions
Ion slowing down and charge exchange at small impact parameters selected by channeling: superdensity effects
CASInternational audienceIn two experiments performed with 20-30 MeV/u highly charged heavy ions (Pb56+, U91+) channeled through thin silicon crystals, we observed the original features of superdensity, associated to the glancing collisions with atomic rows undergone by part of the incident projectiles. In particular the very high collision rate yields a quite specific charge exchange regime, that leads to a higher ionization probability than in random conditions. X-ray measurements show that electrons captured in outershells are prevented from being stabilized, which enhances the lifetime of the projectile innershell vacancies. The charge state distributions and the energy loss spectra are compared to Monte-Carlo simulations. These simulations confirm, extend and illustrate the qualitative analysis of the experimental results

New turbomolecular pump with central opening for free axial access
Standard turbomolecular pumps show typically one annular active intake area on the high vacuum flange side (single-flow pumps). The central circular part of the inlet of the compressor turbine is blind for pumping. The new design proposes a central opening of a turbomolecular pump all along the axis. This central bore can be used e.g. for mounting of feed throughs, manipulators, windows or for coupling to further vacuum devices, in particular also for enclosing tube-like vacuum systems. This design allows a multi-use of a pumping port at a vacuum vessel without reducing there the pumping speed. Moreover, the new design is ideal for axial or radial differential pumping arrangements as e.g. needed for all gas jet like set-ups or other pressure reduction stages.
