On the Interrelation of Processes Leading to Inelastic Energy Losses by Ions

Inelastic energy losses can be presented as two components determined by processes of the ionization of target atoms and the charge exchange of ions. These components are interrelated. The interrelation is determined by the value of the average ion charge. The energy losses during the ionization of...

Summary:Inelastic energy losses can be presented as two components determined by processes of the ionization of target atoms and the charge exchange of ions. These components are interrelated. The interrelation is determined by the value of the average ion charge. The energy losses during the ionization of a target atom are calculated using a parameter which characterize the effect of states of excited atoms. The difference between inelastic energy losses in gaseous and solid targets is explained.
