Energy loss straggling of 5.486 MeV alpha particles in Melinex, Al, Ni and Cu.

Energy loss straggling of 5.486 MeV alpha particles passing through Melinex, Al, Ni and Cu has been studied as a function of energy loss. The reduction in straggling towards the end of the particle range is predicted by considering the reduction of the stopping power and of the effective charge in the capture and loss of electrons at lower energies. These measurements are compared with theoreti...

Skewness of energy-loss straggling and multiple-scattering energy distributions

Energy spread distributions due to electronic energy-loss straggling and multiple small-angle scattering of swift ions in matter are approximated by asymmetric Gaussian functions consisting of two-piece normal distributions. These skewed energy distributions approximate the distributions more accurately than the conventional approximation by Gaussian functions. The results are compared to exper...

Energy straggling of heavy ions in thin foils

2014 The energy straggling of heavy ion beams at tandem energies, passing through thin foils, has been studied with ions of mass up to A = 35. Charge exchange in the foils has been found to have a considerable effect on the energy spread. Thickness non-uniformities in the foils can also make significant contributions. Extrapolation of the observations to the case of a uniform carbon stripper fo...
