Deexcitation Dynamics Of Muonic Atoms Revealed By High-Precision Spectroscopy Of Electronic K X Rays
PHYSICAL REVIEW LETTERS(2021)
摘要
We observed electronic K x rays emitted from muonic iron atoms using superconducting transition-edge sensor microcalorimeters. The energy resolution of 5.2 eV in FWHM allowed us to observe the asymmetric broad profile of the electronic characteristic K alpha and K beta x rays together with the hypersatellite K-h alpha x rays around 6 keV. This signature reflects the time-dependent screening of the nuclear charge by the negative muon and the L-shell electrons, accompanied by electron side feeding. Assisted by a simulation, these data clearly reveal the electronic K- and L-shell hole production and their temporal evolution on the 10-20 fs scale during the muon cascade process.
