Test preparation and lifetime measurement of very thin carbon stripper foils made by a controlled DC arc-discharge method

摘要

We have prepared very thin plastic supported carbon stripper foils (1.2+/-0.3 mug/cm(2)) using a controlled DC arc-discharge (CDAD) method. The lifetime of these foils was measured with 3.2 MeV Ne+ ions. These foils recorded lifetimes about four times longer at the maximum and three times longer on the average than those commercially available foils produced by evaporation-condensation.
