The ANKE-GEANT geometry package describes GEANT original output files, prepared by calling precisely a full spectrometer: magnets, vacuum corresponding procedures [1]. One event consists of chambers, target chambers, detector systems etc. The several tracks and more than one particle can appear in real set-up is divided into parts easily converted into it. Typical parameters of the particle track, like time of shapes supplied by GEANT. Preparation of flight, energy loss and path length for each detector, description of the ANKE geometry for the Monte are stored. These data can be written in the same Carlo code was a time consuming task, which has format as measured data. So, the same data analysis started from measurements of dimensions and program may be used for experimental and simulated positions of all ANKE elements. Necessary data are data. already placed in the ANKE WWW page and in a Simple response functions for scintillators are close future will be available from the database. implemented in the ANKE-GEANT program and Measured dimensions and positions of all elements of placed in the ntuple-like file called the ANKE set-up are then used to calculate shape anke_geant_output.ntuple. parameters and positions of volumes according to the Monte Carlo simulations are very useful to GEANT convention. For the moment these determine a detector acceptance, estimate background, conversions are done in the main part of the ANKE- understand measured particle spectra.

Photoionization is one of the most important inclusion of terms beyond dipole in a multipole interaction processes between radiation and matter. expansion of the photon field, results in a break-down Recently, it has been demonstrated that photo- of symmetry around 90° of the REC angular ionization can best be studied via its time inverse distribution. Surprisingly, deviations from sin20 reaction - the radiative electron capture (REC) distribution, turned out to be rather unimportant at occurring in ion- collisions [1]. For REC into the energies up to 300 MeV/u and nuclear charges up to ^-states of bare non-relativistic ions, the complete Z=50 or 70 [3]. However, a significant cross section at cancellation between retardation effects and the forward angles has been predicted for REC into the K Lorentz transformation occurs, leading to the classical shell of bare uranium (Z=92) at the same collision sin2G term in the angular distribution. In particular, energy, and shown to be a unique signature of spin-flip photon emission at 0° is forbidden by angular transitions [2]. momentum conservation law, unless a magnetic spin- Here, we report the first experimental study of a flip transition accounts for the spin of the emitted complete photon angular distribution for radiative photon [2]. For very high-Z systems, relativistic effects electron capture into the K shell of a bare high-Z ion become important and require the exact theoretical (uranium, Z=92). Our measurement conducted at the treatment, both in terms of electron wave-functions internal gas-jet target of the ESR Storage Ring at GSI used and the interaction potential. In particular, the Darmstadt, encompasses laboratory observation angles 52 Annual Report 1999 from near 0° to 150°, permitting to identify spin-flip laboratory frame (dashed line). Obviously, the contributions. experimental data deviate considerably from symmetry around 90°. Most significantly, the experimental data follow the predictions of the complete relativistic treatment, in which the interaction of the electron magnetic moment with themagnetic field produced by the moving projectile gives rise to spin-flip transitions at observation angles close to 0° (shaded area in Fig. 1). This effect, predicted recently [2], has not been confirmed experimentally up to now. For example, for the case of XeM+-> Be collisions at 197 MeV/u [3], no relativistic effects were observed and the measured AT-REC angular distribution could be well reproduced by the nonrelativistic theory. It should also be mentioned that in the relativistic Sauter approximation [4], in which the matrix element of the photoelectric effect is treated in the lowest order of aZ (a is the fine-structure constans) spin-flip contributions at forward angles do not occur. Hence, the present results indicate that higher orders in ocZ (automatically 0 30 60 90 120 150 180 contained in the exact wave functions) are needed. observation angle 9 [deg] Fig. 1 Angular distribution of REC into the K shell of bare [1] Th.Stohlker et al., Phys.
