Original Abstract

We demonstrate simultaneous measurements of the charge state, energy and angular distribution of keV ions in transmission experiments through self-supporting foils. Using a time-of-flight approach we have introduced an electrostatic deflection apparatus as an extension to existing medium energy ion scattering (MEIS) instrumentation. Different positive, neutral and negative charge states have been discriminated and quantified for initially singly charged beams of He, N, O and Ne in the energy range from 25 to 250 keV. In parallel, the ion energy after interaction with the target has been assessed for all detected particles, while particles can be discriminated by deflection angle. Self-supporting thin carbon foils were used as samples to benchmark our experiments with literature data where available.
