Abstract
Ultrasonic signals of near-MHz frequencies were observed when solid targets
of Al2O3, KCl and metallic aluminum were irradiated with fast heavy-ions.
The projectile beam of 26 MeV/u Xe ions were chopped to pulses shorter than
1 mu s. Two piezoelectric sensors detected the acoustic signals at the bot
h ends of the target. The signals were analyzed by Fourier transform and se
veral peaks were observed in the frequency range from several hundred kHz.
Amplitudes of the frequency components were nearly proportional to the numb
er of the ions in the pulse. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights rese
