High energy beams of neutral atoms can be produced by using electron capture to neutralize an accelerated ion beam. Useful beams of neutral atoms with Z=1 to 6 and squared-velocities up to 0.5 MeV/u have been produced in this manner. The neutral beams may then be used to study a wide variety of processes: electron capture, electron loss from the projectile, ionization of the target, and multiple-electron processes involving both collision partners. Systematics of these processes as functions of energy, projectile charge state, and projectile Z will be discussed. |
