Abstract

The transmission of highly charged ions (HCI) through microcapillaries is investigated. The interaction of an HCI with the internal surface of the capillary is described in terms of a classical image potential. For Neq+ projectiles transmitted through a Ni capillary the impact parameter distribution and angular distribution of ions leaving the microcapillary is determined. We consider both a narrowly focussed and a dispersive incident beam relative to the acceptance angle of the capillary. Our results are compared with recent experiments.
