Ion stopping in heated targets
Abstract
Ion stopping departs from classical, cold material values as the target material heats to appreciable ionization levels. This phenomenon was investigated experimentally on the Proto I accelerator with a radial, applied-B field ion diode. When the beam is focused to 0.5 TW/cm(2) on thin aluminum film targets the time-resolved departure from cold stopping is clear. The observations and early interpretations are presented.
