Study of X-rays emitted by projectile following heavy ion-matter interactions

This projet consists in the study the fine structure of x-rays emitted by heavy projectiles interacting with matter. This will show the evolution of the elctronic configuration of the projectiles, and thus their charge state. Caracteristic x-ray production cross-sections are measured, simultaneously with stopping cross-sections. These parameters will then be modelised to describe heavy ion-matter interactions.
