Abstract
We investigate the formation of the charge and energy distributions of ions that slow down and randomly change their charges in collisions with particles of the medium. We study the influence that the spread of ions in charge has on the shape of the Bragg curve. The suggested diffusion approximation for the kinetic equation of heavy ions allows the parameters of the ion charge and energy distributions to be easily determined in the entire ion path. The parameters of the ion charge distribution are shown to be related to the ionization-recombination cross sections. The ion distributions calculated in the suggested analytical model are compared with the results of numerical calculations. We have obtained good agreement between the analytical, numerical, and experimental results.
