Abstract

The K-shell ionization cross sections, σKZ, are determined for Dy atoms produced in bombardments of several Gd targets with α-particles in the energy range 47–130 MeV and of 148, 150Nd targets with 12C ions at 65 and 90 MeV. The determination is based on the measured intensity ratios of the characteristic K X-rays of the product atoms to those of the target elements. Analysis of the simultaneously measured discrete in-beam γ-ray spectra allows one to determine ionization cross sections for Dy product atoms, σZK(der), derived as a sum of the products of the γ-ray intensities times the corresponding K-shell internal conversion coefficients. The measured and the total derived values are found to be identical to within the experimental errors.

The partial ionization yields per reaction are analyzed as functions of the average angular momentum left in each exit channel. Strong dependence of these yields on the nuclear structure is found. Moreover, the variation of the yields with the angular momentum is also strongly structure dependent. Properties of the quasicontinuum γ-radiation deexciting the reaction residues are considered. Upper intensity limits are determined for the low-energy magnetic dipole components in this radiation.
