M. Chabot et al., STRIPPING PROPERTIES OF A PLASMA MEDIUM FOR MEV U CHLORINE IONS/, Nuclear instruments & methods in physics research. Section B, Beam interactions with materials and atoms, 107(1-4), 1996, pp. 15-18
Clear experimental evidence of plasma stripping enhancement for chlori
ne ions in the MeV/u energy range is contrasted to its cold gas homolo
gue at the same density, The velocity dependence of the charge distrib
ution is modelled both in cold gas and in plasma experiments. Calculat
ions an found to be in good agreement with the hypothesis of strongly
reduced capture in the plasma case.
