Abstract
The radiative recombination of polarized electrons into the excited states of bare, high-Z ions and the subsequent photon decay are studied in the framework of the density matrix theory. The two-photon angular correlation function is analyzed for the electron capture into the 2p3/2 state of bare uranium projectile and following Lyman-α1 (2p3/2→1s1/2) transition. It is shown that the two-photon angular correlation function is sensitive to the incident electron polarization and, therefore, can be used to determine either the polarization of the electron target and/or the projectile ions.
