Modeling the detector of charge states of relativistic multicharged ions

Abstract

A way to identify charge distributions of relativistic multicharged ions by recording the angular distribution of the Cherenkov radiation of ions is analyzed; preliminarily, ions with different charges are separated by ion velocities in an external target with a large charge number. As a result, when an ion beam enters the Cherenkov radiator, different charges radiate at different angles to the direction of the ion motion and the radiation intensity is proportional to the fraction of ions with a given charge in the beam.
