The Straggling Green's Function Method For Ion Transport, Steven Andrew Walker
The Straggling Green's Function Method For Ion Transport, Steven Andrew Walker
Mathematics & Statistics Theses & Dissertations
For many years work has been conducted on developing a concise theory and method for HZE ion transport capable of being validated in the laboratory. Previous attempts have ignored dispersion and energy downshift associated with nuclear fragmentation and energy and range straggling. Here we present a Green's function approach to ion transport that incorporates these missing elements. This work forms the basis for a new version of GRNTRN, a Green's function transport code. Comparisons of GRNTRN predictions and laboratory results for an 56Fe ion beam with average energy at the target of one GeV/amu or more are presented for …
