Irradiation damage in carbon stripper foils induced by heavy ions

  • 1. Technische Univ. Muenchen, Garching, (Germany, F.R.) Physikdepartment

Description

The microscopic effects of the heavy ion irradiation on thin carbon foils is investigated. Direct knock on collisions of heavy ions with carbon atoms are responsible for the irradiation damage. Calculations of irradiation damage revealed that under normal irradiation conditions, each carbon atom is displaced about 5 times during the lifetime of a slackened carbon stripper foil. Electron microscopy investigations on carbon atoms displacements are carried out. It is suggested that carbon foils with no texture show better stripper performance
