Abstract

This article reports on the interaction between slow ions and a partially ionized plasma. Temporal evolutions of energy loss and charge distribution of 2.4 MeV oxygen beams in the laser-induced polyethylene plasma were measured. The charge distribution showed strong stripping ability in the early phase of the plasma. Stopping power deduced from the experimental energy loss was 1.9 times larger than that for the solid. The effective charge of the projectile ion was estimated from the yields of 4+ and 6+ states. The peak value of the effective charge was 1.4 times larger than that of the solid. The stopping power equation given by Sigmund was extended for the partially ionized plasma and it could reproduce the measured energy loss.
