- Title
Effective Stopping of Relativistic Composite Heavy Ions Colliding with Atoms.
- Authors
Matveev, V. I.
- Abstract
A nonperturbative theory of energy loss by relativistic composite heavy highly charged ions colliding with atoms is developed. A simple formula for effective stopping is derived. By composite ions, we mean partially ionized atoms of heavy elements consisting of the ion core and several bound electrons that incompletely neutralize the ion core charge. Such ions, which have, as a rule, a high charge (for example, partly stripped uranium atoms), are used in many experiments performed with modern heavy ion accelerators.
