Electron Loss by Fast Heavy Ions: Target Scaling Dependence

Using data taken from the literature, the scaling of electron loss cross sections as a function of target Z was investigated. It was found that for energies <20 MeV/u, a wide range of systems demonstrated very similar target Z dependences where, for heavier targets, the slope increased very slowl...

Summary:Using data taken from the literature, the scaling of electron loss cross sections as a function of target Z was investigated. It was found that for energies <20 MeV/u, a wide range of systems demonstrated very similar target Z dependences where, for heavier targets, the slope increased very slowly with impact energy. At higher energies, this increase was much faster. A "universal" formula capable of fitting these dependences is being developed.
