Experimental and theoretical study of the ratio between the electron emission yield and the electronic stopping power for protons incident on thin carbon foils

Résumé

It is often assumed that the kinetic electron emission yield γ is proportional to the electronic stopping power dE/dx for ions incident on solid targets. Though these two phenomena are based on the same physical process in which the incident ions lose their energy in the target in electron excitations, there is no reason why the ratio Λ=γ/(dE/dx) should be constant. We present in this paper a comparison between experimental and theoretical results for protons incident on thin carbon foils in a wide energy range (200 keV-9.2 MeV). The ratios ΛB=γB/(dE/dx) and ΛF=γF/(dE/dx) for both the backward (B) and forward (F) emission yields are studied as a function of the incident proton energy as well as the target thickness.
