The Interaction of Slow Particles with Matter and Plasma Diagnostics,
Abstract
The question of the interactions of slow particles (of energy less than 50 KeV) with solids is considered in this book. The authors describe the current theoretical and experimental status of the investigations of the energy loss and range of particles in matter, proton charge exchange, and proton scattering in traversing a layer of matter. Experimental methods which are applicable to this type of research are described. Methods of obtaining very thin layers of material to study (without backing), which are used as targets, are discussed in detail. The last part is devoted to the application of the phenomena investigated to corpuscular diagnostics of laboratory and cosmic plasma.
