Average charge states of heavy ions in rarefied hydrogen
Nuclear Instruments and Methods in Physics Research Section A: Accelerators, Spectrometers, Detectors and Associated Equipment(2023)
Abstract
We present the results of experiments on measuring the charges of heavy ions from Rn (Z=86) to Og (Z=118) in rarefied hydrogen performed at the DGFRS and DGFRS-2 separators. Two formulae are proposed that can be used to calculate the charges of ions in H2 and which take into account the influence of the shell structure of atoms on the charge value. The accuracy of estimating the charge of ions of superheavy atoms was measured to be 2%. The charges of Ra, Th, and No ions were measured at a hydrogen pressure from 0.5 to 3.3 mbar, which allowed us to evaluate the effect of H2 density on the charge value. A formula is proposed to account for the effect of gas density when performing experiments at different gas pressures. It is shown that the results of experiments performed at different separators DGFRS and DGFRS-2 are in good agreement with each other.
