Ion stopping in heated targets

Conference ·
OSTI ID:5588538

Ion stopping departs from classical, cold material values as the target material heats to appreciable ionization levels. We are investigating this phenomenon experimentally on the Proto I accelerator with a radial, Applied-B field ion diode. When the beam is focused to 0.5 TW/cm/sup 2/ on thin aluminium foil targets the time-resolved departure from cold stopping is clear. Our observations and early interpretations will be presented.
