Bound-state transitions in few-electron, heavy ions following radiative electron capture are studied within the framework of the density matrix theory and the multiconfiguration Dirac-Fock approach. Special attention is paid to the K α1 (1 s1/2 2 p3/2 1.3PJ=1,2→1s21/2 1SJ=0) radiative decay of heliumlike uranium U90+ projectiles. This decay has recently been observed at the GSI facility in Darmstadt, giving rise to a surprisingly isotropic angular distribution, which is inconsistent with previous experiments and calculations based on a "one-particle" model. We show that the unexpected isotropy essentially results from …

The relativistic recoil effect has been the object of experimental investigations using highly charged ions at the Heidelberg electron beam ion trap. Its scaling with the nuclear charge Z boosts its contribution to a measurable level in the magnetic-dipole (M1) transitions of B- and Be-like Ar ions. The isotope shifts of 36Ar versus 40Ar have been detected with sub-ppm accuracy, and the recoil effect contribution was extracted from the 1s22s22p 2P1/2-2P3/2 transition in Ar13+ and the 1s22s2p 3P1-3P2 transition …
