Abstract

By applying the deceleration technique for bare uranium ions at the ESR storage ring we studied the Radiative Electron Capture process in collisions with low-Z target atoms. This allowed us to extend the current information about the time-reversed photoionization process of highly-charged heavy ions to much lower energies than those accessible for neutral heavy elements in the direct reaction channel. The angular differential data obtained prove theoretical predictions that at high-Z higher-order multipole contributions and magnetic corrections play an important role even at energies close to the threshold.
