Fast negative helium ions produced by double electron capture in singleHe+-He collisions

Abstract
Fast (0.35–1.2-MeV) He ions produced by double electron capture have been observed in He+-He collisions. The thickness of the gas-jet target (4×10131015 atoms/cm2) has been calculated without any separate calibration. Single-collision conditions have allowed a direct measurement of the total cross section of the double electron capture. These data can be related to the development of theoretical studies on double electron capture.
