Title: Lateral multiple scattering of energetic ions in very thin targets: Z/sub 1/ oscillations. [Atomic number 6 to 82]

Journal Article · · Phys. Rev., A; (United States)

Measurements of lateral multiple scattering of 15--60-keV ions with atomic number from 6 to 82 on xenon targets of reduced thickness 0.01 < tau < 0.17 are reported. Significant deviations from the scaling properties inherent in current multiple-scattering theory are observed. The widths of the multiple-scattering distributions are not strictly proportional to the reciprocal ion energy, and they oscillate heavily with ion atomic number. These oscillations are similar to those found in electronic stopping power. (AIP)
