Abstract

Nitrogen ions in charge states N 5+ and N 6+ have been accelerated in the Princeton Particle Accelerator to 4 and 7.4 billion electron volts (Gev), respectively. An external N 5+ beam of 1 × 10 6 particles per second has been obtained and focused to a 6-millimeter-diameter spot. The N 6+ beam was about 2 × 10 5 particles per second. The total charge-changing collision cross section of N 5+ in water vapor was determined as a function of ion energy. The improvement in vacuum necessary to increase the N 5+ beam at least tenfold was calculated. The N 6+ total cross section is probably smaller than that of N 5+ at the higher energies.
