Abstract
We describe a theoretical model to study the transmission or relativistic H - ions through thin carbon foils. Our approach is based on a Monte Carlo so lution of the Langevin equation describing electronic excitations of the at oms during the transport through the foil. Calculations for the subshell po pulations of outgoing hydrogen atoms are found to be in good agreement with recent experimental data on an absolute scale and show that there exists a propensity for populating extreme Stark states.
