THE STOPPING CROSS-SECTIONS OF HYDROCARBON GASES
Abstract
The stopping cross sections of air, helium, acetylene, cyclopropane, ethylene, methane, propane and propylene were measured for proton energies 40 to 250 kev. The stopping cross sections of ethylene and propane were measured for helium ions. The standard deviations of the measurements vary between 1.5% and 4%. Where comparable, the stopping cross sections are in good agreement with previous experimental work.The experiment utilizes the high stability in both energy and intensity of the Nebraska ion accelerator. A differentially pumped gas cell containing a known length of gas at a given temperature and pressure was placed between the analyzing and spectrometer magnets.
