Abstract

The polarization of photons emitted from radiative recombination of bare ions with free electrons is discussed in the nonrelativistic dipole approximation in the low-relative-energy limit. Within this approach an analytical expression is derived for the degree of polarization of photons from radiative recombination of ions with fixed-energy electrons for an arbitrary (n, l) state. For a relative-velocity distribution of the electron beam, characterized by the longitudinal kT ∥ and transverse kT ⊥ electron-beam temperatures, we found also analytical forms for the polarization rates
