X-ray energies of circular transitions in sigmonic atoms."
Nuclear Instruments and Methods in Physics Research Section B 235 (2005): 206.
AbstractEnergies of the circular (n, ℓ = n − 1) 1 less-than-or-equals, slant n less-than-or-equals, slant 20 levels have been calculated for hydrogenlike sigmonic atoms with 1 less-than-or-equals, slant Z less-than-or-equals, slant 92, using the current world average sigma mass, as well as the electronic shift in Σ− + Ne e− + nucleus systems, where Ne stands for the number of electrons. The electronic influence on sigmonic orbitals has also been investigated through the computation of the hyperfine structure and the anomalous Σ− magnetic moment effects in sigmonic Be 2p states.

X-ray-spectroscopy analysis of electron-cyclotron-resonance ion-source plasmas."
Physical Review A 82 (2010): 062516.
AbstractAnalysis of x-ray spectra emitted by highly charged ions in an electron-cyclotron-resonance ion source (ECRIS) may be used as a tool to estimate the charge-state distribution (CSD) in the source plasma. For that purpose, knowledge of the electron energy distribution in the plasma, as well as the most important processes leading to the creation and de-excitation of ionic excited states are needed. In this work we present a method to estimate the ion CSD in an ECRIS through the analysis of the x-ray spectra emitted by the plasma. The method is applied to the analysis of a sulfur ECRIS plasma.
