Abstract
We report results of one electron capture by highly charged ions colliding with laser excited aligned Na*(3p). The O vi(10→8) photon emission cross section after electron capture by the O6+ projectile is measured in the collision energy range 2-8 keV/amu. Effects of the Na*(3p) orbital alignment on the) O vi(10→8) emission are observed and found to be "reversed" as compared to the He2+→Na*(3p) collision system. Classical trajectory Monte Carlo calculations agree with the measured data and indicate that capture to states with n>10, contributing to the O vi(10→8) emission via cascades, plays a crucial role in the alignment cross sections. © 1994 The American Physical Society.
