Abstract
We observed convoy electrons emitted from 416 MeV/u He-like Ar16+ passing through a thin Si crystal under the condition of three-dimensional resonant coherent excitation (3D-RCE). The convoy electrons, which originate from electrons released from ions into the continuum by collisions with target atoms, emerged in the forward direction and formed a cusp-shaped peak in the energy distribution. We selectively controlled the population of the ground and excited states of ions traveling through the crystal by using 3D-RCE, where the 1s electron was excited to the 2p state by a periodic crystal field. Under the resonance condition, we found an enhancement of the convoy electrons with a narrowing in the energy distribution, which reflects the electron momentum distribution of the initial bound state of the excited ions.
