A continuous liquid sheet generator for ion stripping
Abstract
Many of the technical problems of generating a large thin liquid sheet from 0.02-0.20 μ thick (3-40 μ/cm 2) have been solved. It is shown that this perennial sheet is stable and consonant in dimension. Several ion beam species from the SuperHILAC have been used for evaluation; at 0.11 MeV/n. In one of three modes this sheet serves as an equivalent substitute for a carbon foil. The second mode is characterized by a solid-like charge state distribution but with a varying fraction of unstripped ions. The third mode gives stripping performance akin to a vapor stripping medium.
