Abstract
A crossed-beams experiment designed to study charge-changing collision s between singly charged ions has been modified to extend its applicab ility to collisions between multiply charged ions in a broader range o f collision energies. Computer simulations of the beam transport syste m and the new electrostatic analyzing units are presented. The ion-opt ical predictions are tested experimentally. A data acquisition system that allows measurements of angular differential cross sections in ion -ion collisions is described. (C) 1996 American Institute of Physics.
