Multiple Scattering of Heavy Ions of keV Energies Transmitted through Thin Carbon Films

This paper describes experimental studies of multiple scattering of 13 different heavy ions with 3≤Z₁≤30 in the energy range of 200-1000 keV, transmitted through thin (8-25 {μ}g/cm²) carbon foils. The agreement between our experimental data, recent theoretical calculations, and published experimental data is found to be satisfactory, although a small systematic deviation exists for thicker foils.
