Abstract
The lifetime of carbon foils used as strippers in terminals of tandem electrostatic accelerators or as strippers prior to injection into post accelerators increases with increasing ion velocity. The usefulness of such strippers is affected by foil thickening processes due to hydrocarbon cracking and radiation induced effects as well as by pronounced increases in energy straggling from non-uniformity. The lifetime of the foils is substantially increased if the foil is heated during exposure to temperatures of about 400$sup 0$C.
