Vv. Balashov et al., EFFECT OF CHARGE-EXCHANGE ON THE ENERGY-DISTRIBUTION OF FAST MULTIPLY-CHARGED IONS PROPAGATING THROUGH MATTER, Journal of experimental and theoretical physics, 84(6), 1997, pp. 1215-1220
A technique for calculating, in the diffusion approximation, energy di
stributions of multiply-charged ions with an arbitrary number of charg
e states propagating through matter has been suggested. Examples of nu
merical solutions of kinetic equations taking into account charge exch
ange between ions and matter are given. A compact solution for the spe
cial case of two charge states has been found. The calculations are co
mpared to experimental data. (C) 1997 American Institute of Physics.
