Method for calculating the nonequilibrium characteristics of light ions passing through thin organic films

Abstract

A method is proposed for calculating the charge fractions, mean charges, and dispersion of the charge distribution in ion beams passing through thin organic films under nonequilibrium conditions. Calculations are performed for N ions travelling at different velocities (from 8 × 108 to 12 × 108 cm/s) in celluloid. The energy loss is estimated depending on the initial charge states and velocities of the incident ions.
