Production of multiply ionized atoms by ion-atom collisions

  • 1. Kyoto Univ. (Japan). Faculty of Engineering

Description

A method is described of extracting and analyzing ionized target atoms induced by ion-atom collisions. The charge-to-mass ratio spectra are measured in a counting mode. The spectra for helium and neon bombarded with protons, alpha particles and nitrogen ions at 0.5 - 2.5 MeV in energy are presented, which approximately show binomial distributions. These charge spectra are fairly well reproduced by statistically treating the single-electron ionizations. (author)
