Interaction of solar wind ions with thin carbon foils - calibration of time-of-flight spectrometers.
Abstract
With the KAFKA (german: Karbon Folien Kollisions Analysator) experiment the authors study charge exchange, energy loss and angular scattering of solar wind ions in thin carbon foils. Such foils are extensively used in time-of-flight mass spectrometry. The authors have investigated the properties of H, He, B, C, N, O, F, Ne, Na, Mg, Al, Si, S, Cl, Ar, K, Ti, Fe, and Ni in the 0.5 - 5 keV/u energy range.
