Correlation between charge states and scattering angles of 150-MeV 37Cl ions exiting from carbon foils

Abstract Both charge states and scattering angles have been simultaneously measured using an electrostatic deflector and a two dimensional-position sensitive detector for 150-MeV 37 Cl ions emerging from carbon foils of 2.5–360 μg/cm 2 . The increase of mean charges for foils of a few μg/cm 2 is noticeable at larger scattering angles. Concerning charge distributions, marked variations are found for the shapes of distributions and distribution widths in the range of non-equilibrium to equilibrium thickness, and these show a weak dependence on the scattering angle.
