Cet article tente de faire le point sur les progrès actuels des sources d'ions lourds multichargés : sources à confinement, à résonance cyclotron et sources laser. Après avoir rappelé...

Stripping experiments in carbon foils with heavy ions in the energy range of 0.4-0.9 mev/a (1977)

Frick, G., Chaki, V., Heusch, B., Ricaud, Ch., Wagner, P., Baron, E.

We studied the properties of heavy ions stripped by carbon foils. Ni, I and Au ions of 0.4 - 0.9 MeV/A were used to bombard foils of 5 - 200 μg/cm 2. In these measurements the ions were detected...
