Stopping Energetic Beams in Gas
نویسندگان
چکیده
The stopping of Ar beams at energies up to 100 MeV/nucleon in a combination of Al energy degrader and He gas volume was investigated. The range straggling was not largely enhanced by the energy degrader. A Monte Carlo simulation was applied in order to calculate the spatial distribution of stopped ions in the gas. 2002 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.

Construction of a Gas Stopping Station at the Nscl
Measurements on nuclei far from stability can and will continue to provide the most stringent tests of nuclear theories. Detailed measurements of masses, half-lives, and decay processes will be possible with thermalized beams of ions from the NSCL s Coupled Cyclotron. Even the most exotic nuclei can be studied if the thermalization and subsequent extraction are rapid (~10 ms). For example, the ...
متن کاملGas Flow Calculations and Measurements for a Gas Stopping Cell
Along with several other nuclear physics laboratories around the world, the NSCL has undertaken the challenge of stopping a radioactive ion beam in order to make low-energy beams for experiments that require nearly thermal beam energies (precision mass measurements, laser spectroscopy, etc.). As part of the LEBIT (Low Energy Beam and Ion Trapping) Project at the NSCL, a gas stopping station is ...
متن کاملNoname manuscript No. (will be inserted by the editor)
Gas stopping is becoming the method of choice for converting beams of rare isotopes obtained via projectile fragmentation and in-flight separation into low-energy beams. These beams allow ISOL-type experiments , such as mass measurements with traps or laser spectroscopy, to be performed with projectile fragmentation products. Current gas stopper systems for high-energy beams are based on linear...
متن کاملA Study of the Cyclotron Gas-Stopping Concept for the Production of Rare Isotope Beams
The proposed cyclotron gas-stopping scheme for the efficient thermalization of intense rare isotope beams is examined. Simulations expand on previous studies and expose many complications of such an apparatus arising from physical effects not accounted for properly in previous work. The previously proposed cyclotron gas-stopper geometry is found to have a near null efficiency, but extended simu...
متن کاملLocal Field Correction Effect on Dicluster Stopping Power in a Strongly Coupled Two-Dimensional Electron Gas System
We calculate the stopping power for heavy-ion diclusters moving in a strongly coupled two-dimensional electron gas system by using the local field corrected dielectric function at finite temperature. We obtain a parameterized local field correction factor based on a relation between the thermal compressibility and exchange-correlation energy in two-dimension. The interpolated parameter is deriv...
