Interaction of 8 MeV/μXe²¹⁺ with Carbon Foils
Abstract
The objective of this project is to determine the charge state distributions that result when heavy, highly energetic Xe ions are passed through matter. Specifically, the interaction of 8 MeV/μXe²¹⁺ with carbon foils of varying thickness was investigated. The resulting charge state distributions 2 were compared to those theoretically predicted by semi-empirical formulas based on lower energy studies and a new phenomenon was discovered concerning the charge distributions resulting from the traversal of two foils.
