Abstract

In relativistic atomic collisions of high- Z ions with low- Z target atoms, radiative electron capture (REC) is one of the leading reaction channels. If the capture occurs into an excited state of the projectile, this state may decay by X-ray emission. The angular distribution of these decay X-rays with respect to the beam axis is calculated under the assumption that the REC photon escapes undetected. Angular distributions of REC-induced Lyman alpha lines are presently being measured.
