Abstract:
Measurements of the charge fractions F(q) of 60 MeV 58Ni18+ traversing thin carbon foils in dependence on their thickness show a non-trivial behavior. Particularly, the charge fraction of the analysed charge state 18+ has a minimum for foil thickness below 1.9 μg/cm2. This behavior can be interpreted by fast electron capture into high shells and a slow depopulation and excitation of innershells.
