Description

Fine particles satisfying critical limits act as Coulomb forces and scatter charged particles like beams due to the long-range force. Otherwise, fine particles behave as tiny probes. The energy loss and broadening rates of an ion beam by particles having Coulomb fields are investigated where the Coulomb logarithm is taken as a variable. Dependence of the energy loss and broadening on the plasma density, dust charge and beam energy is obtained. A method for measuring the dust surface charge is also given
