Abstract:
Energy loss and charge fractions of 60 MeV 58Niq+ ions in argon gas (0.1-16 μg/cm2) have been measured by means of a Q3D magnetic spectrograph in dependence of the incident and analysed charge state of the ions. The measurements show energy loss phenomena at argon gas thicknesses where the charge state distribution is not in equilibrium. For the charge state
