Abstract
We studied the electronic energy deposition by swift heavy ions in mat ter by means of electron yield measurements as a function of the proje ctile energy and atomic number. The dependence of electron yields from carbon induced by ions of about 10 MeV/u on the projectile atomic num ber is incompatible with the predictions of a recent theoretical model dealing with the induced track charge in the ion's wake and the influ ence of the induced track potential on electron emission.
