What is Stripping Cross-sections for Fast, Low Charge State Ions about?
The n-body classical trajectory Monte Carlo method has been used to estimate the cross-sections for electron loss from fast, low charge state ions after collision with BeF 2 . The two ions investigated were 20 MeV/u (2.6 GeV) Xe q+ and 40 MeV/u (8.4 GeV) Bi q+ , q=1-12. The systems were chosen because of their relevance to the HYLIFE-II scenario. Single and multiple electron loss cross-sections for up to 10 stripped electrons were computed for each ion charge state. Multiple electron loss accounts for up to 50% of the total cross-section for these low charge state systems. To simulate the charge state evolution of the ions in a reactor focusing chamber, the calculated cross-sections were incorporated into rate equations assuming a BeF 2 target density of 5 Â 10 13 molecules/cm 3 . At a position 3 m into the reactor chamber, incident Xe + and Bi + charge states are reduced to less than 1% of the total flux with the dominant charge states being Xe 8+ and Bi 6+ , respectively.
