Abstract
Coincidence counting techniques in conjunction with time-of-flight mas s spectrometry (TOF-MS) have been applied to the study of correlations between secondary ions desorbed by Cf-252 fission fragments. The aver age energies of the projectiles were decreased by the interposition of thin foils between a Cf-252 radioactive source and a CsI target. The co-emission of the secondary ions was examined as a function of projec tile energy after each foil. The correlation coefficients were observe d to increase with decreasing average energy of the projectiles.
