Measurements on Ion‐beam Loss Induced Desorption at GSI

Ion‐beam loss induced desorption is a well known intensity limitation for low charge state heavy ion accelerators. Therefore dedicated measurements were performed, e.g., at CERN and at GSI in the last few years. In this work we will summarize results obtained at GSI with a focus on a observed scaling of the desorption yield with the electronic energy loss of the incident ion in the target material.
