Abstract:The energy of the binary-encounter peak has been determined for 0.6 MeV/u O, F, Si, Ti, Cu, and Br ions colliding with H 2 targets. The projectiles all had the same charge qϭ7, while the atomic number Z of the projectiles ranged from 8 ͑almost totally ionized͒ to 35 ͑retaining 28 electrons͒. We observe that the binaryencounter-peak energy for fixed q increases as Z increases. This trend is opposite to that observed when Z is fixed and the charge q is varied, and it demonstrates that the binary-encounter-peak e… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
