Angular distributions of very low energy recoil ions

Conference ·
OSTI ID:6965751
We present the first measurements of the angular distribution of recoil ions near 90/sup 0/ with respect to the incident projectile direction. Beams of 22.5 and 33 MeV chlorine ions (incident charge states q =4,5,8) have been used as ''hammer'' beams incident on Ne atoms. We confirm the long standing assumption that these recoil ions are ejected preferentially at angles near 90/sup 0/ with respect to the primary beam direction and with energies typically less than 5 eV. Recoil ions ejected around 90/sup 0/ have an energy distribution appreciably wider than those ejected at either larger or smaller angles. 9 refs., 6 figs.
