Description

We investigate the forward electron emission induced by fast antiprotons transmitted through thin carbon foils. The capture of electrons into wake-riding states is calculated in the second Born approximation. The transport through the foil is analyzed within the framework of classical stochastic dynamics. We find evidence that the usual cusp-shaped peak for positively charged ions is replaced by a broad peak due to emission of wake-riding electrons
