Atomic processes in ionic projectiles in plasma: End-of-the-range effects
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 09 March 2009
Abstract
The charge state and the level populations of ionic projectiles that are stopped in hydrogen plasma are calculated in the average ion model. It is shown that in available experimental systems the parameters can be chosen such that the end of the range will occur inside the plasma column. The predicted narrow region over which recombination occurs can be used as a check on plasma stopping-power theory and as a direct measurement of the range, using spectroscopic diagnostics.
