Effect of the capture and loss of two electrons on the charge distributions of ions

Аннотация

The effect of the processes of capture and loss of two electrons on the width of the equilibrium charge distribution of ions in different materials is studied. These processes increase the width of the equilibrium charge distribution in the energy region of E < 0.1 MeV/nucleon. The effect increases with decreasing ion nuclear charge and reaches 10–15% for boron ions.
