Charge exchange of multiply charged laser plasma ions with rare-gas jet atoms

The interaction of a gas jet (He, Ne, Xe) with the incident laser plasma from a solid target [B, (CH₂)_n, (CF₄)_n] removed by ~1 cm is investigated. Line spectra arising from the charge exchange of multiply charged plasma ions with rare-gas atoms are recorded in the multiply charged ions–gas interaction region. The ratios between the partial cross sections of the charge exchange with the production of these ions in excited states are determined from the relative intensities of the Balmer series transitions in BV and CVI ions. These results are compared with theoretical data.
