Radiative double electron capture in collisions of O8+ ions with carbon.
Multielectron capture processes observed in low energy collisions of bare ions with target atoms open insight into electron correlations in electromagnetic fields. Radiative double electron capture (RDEC) provides the simplest tool for investigation of such processes. Here, the experimental observation of the RDEC process in collisions of O8+ ions with thin carbon films is presented and the RDEC cross section value obtained is compared with recent theoretical calculations.
