  Electron capture - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Electron capture (sometimes called Inverse Beta Decay) is a decay mode for isotopes that will occur when there are too many protons in the nucleus of an atom and insufficient energy to emit a positron; however, it continues to be a viable decay mode for radioactive isotopes that can decay by positron emission.
In this case, one of the orbital electrons, usually from the K or L electron shell (K-electron capture, also K-capture, or L-electron capture, L-capture), is captured by a proton in the nucleus, forming a neutron and a neutrino.
Since the proton is changed to a neutron, the number of neutrons increases by 1, the number of protons decreases by 1, and the atomic mass number remains unchanged.

Double photo-ionization of He is a simple example of the extensive, and largely undeveloped study of many particle dynamics in AMO physics, and is a bridge between single particle and multiple particle excitation.
Since electron rearrangement is central to nearly all reactive processes, basic studies of orientation dependent electron transfer form a useful window into the correlation between structure and collision dynamics.
Using the techniques of electron and ion momentum spectroscopy, we have measured the complete emission patterns of core photoelectrons emitted from the C and O atoms for any (and all) relative orientations of the CO molecular axis and the linearly polarization of the incident soft X-ray photons.

At 2500 eV, while the capture events occurring at large impact parameters are not detected in the present measurements, electron capture in collisions at small impact parameters is evidenced.
For q<1.2 au, both electrons are distributed uniformly in the plane perpendicular to the projectile axis, and distinct similarities with photoionization are identified; For q>1.2 au, the faster electron resulting from a binary encounter with the projectile is emitted along the direction of momentum transfer, while the other election is distributed uniformly.
The effect of the velocity of the incident ions in the nl-distributions of the electron capture in collisions of highly charged Ar ions with a lithium target is studied.

 Double electron capture - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Double electron capture is a decay mode of atomic nucleus.
In this mode of decay, two of the orbital electrons are captured by two protons in the nucleus, forming two neutrons.
If the mass difference between the mother and daughter atoms is more than two masses of electron (1.022 MeV), the energy released in the process is enough to allow another mode of decay: electron capture with positron emission.

Electron emission from atomic collisions; grazing-incidence ion-surface collisions
The distribution of emitted electrons, in energy and in direction, carries a wealth of information about the processes responsible for their ejection and about the structure of the colliding particles.
Similar methods are presently being applied to collisions at shallow angles of incidence with atomically clean, single crystal surfaces, and focus on the use of electron emission to probe the dynamically evolving surface image potential that develops in response to the passing projectile ion.

 Publikationen der Arbeitsgruppe 2002
For not too high projectile velocities with respect to kinematic thresholds, electron emission for the insulator target is understood by an electronic promotion mechanism with the formation of H- ions as dominant precursor, whereas for the metal target electronic excitations are governed by direct energy transfer in binary collisions with the atomic projectiles.
From conservation laws and phase space considerations we derive the threshold behaviour for the kinetic electron emission and the mean electron energy transfer, which compare well with recent experimental studies on electron emission from the selvage of atomically clean and flat Al(111) under grazing impact of light neutral atoms.
The emission of electrons, production of surface excitons, and formation of negative ions is explained by a model of electron capture by projectiles at fluorine lattice sites where the formation of negative hydrogen ions is the common precursor for the electronic processes of relevance here.

 Beta decay Summary
During beta decay the nucleon (protons and neutrons) composition of the atomic nucleus changes, either by the transformation of a neutron into a proton or by the transformation of a proton into a neutron.
As a result of the nucleon transformations, a new proton is left behind in the nucleus and the atomic number of the atom is raised by one.
But if the energy difference between initial and final states is low, the electron capture can occur without being accompanied by positron emission.

In this process, an electron-positron pair is produced by the transient electromagnetic field of a relativistic ion-atom collision, and the electron from the pair emerges from the collision bound to the projectile ion.
Present activities include (1) extending the measurement of electron capture from pair production to 10 GeV/nucleon collision energies and the capture of particles heavier than electrons, (2) performing calculations of capture from pair production using parallel computing, and (3) constructing a new experiment to search for an electron EDM using laser trapping and cooling.

 Gamma ray Summary
Compton Scattering: This is an interaction in which an incident gamma photon loses enough energy to an atomic electron to cause its ejection, with the remainder of the original photon's energy being emitted as a new, lower energy gamma photon with an emission direction different from that of the incident gamma photon.
A positron is the anti-matter equivalent of an electron; it has the same mass as an electron, but it has a positive charge equal in strength to the negative charge of an electron.
The secondary electrons (or positrons) produced in any of these three processes frequently have enough energy to produce many ionizations up to the end of range.

 On the Neutralization of Singly and Multicharged Projectiles During Grazing Interactions with LiF(100)
One characteristic of the multicharged alkali projectiles that might be responsible for the observed charge dependence is the fact that, unlike the singly charged ones, which have no electron capture levels that are even remotely resonant with the LiF valence band, the higher charged projectiles have numerous such levels (albeit excited).
The first is quasi-resonant double electron capture by a doubly charged incident Ne or Na projectile to form a doubly excited neutral.
The second is sequential single electron capture, the first electron being captured to form an excited 1+ core, the second to a level more tightly bound (due to reduced screening) than the corresponding level bound to a ground state 1+ core, consequently lying closer in energy to the valence band.
