摘要

Energy spectra of electrons ejected through autoionization decay of high-Rydberg states in high-energy collisions of Nq (q = 1-3) with He have been measured with high-resolution by using zero-degree electron spectroscopy. Several series of autoionizing lines were observed, corresponding to decays front N3 1s(2)2p(P-2)nl Rydberg states produced in N3 He collisions, from N2 1 s(2)2s2p(P-3)nl Rydberg states produced in N2 He and from N 1s(2)2s2p(2)(P-4)nl Rydberg states produced in N He, respectively. Angular momentum distributions for the first or second peak of three series of Coster-Kronig electron transitions for Nq (q = 1-3) projectiles are also discussed, where the highly excited states are formed by electron excitation.
