Abstract
We report the results of a series of experiments investigating the nature of very-highly-excited states of fast ions emerging from thin foils. The yields of electrons produced by field ionization of these atoms are compared for different projectiles and beam energies. Various field arrangements were used. The consequences for related studies of fast-ion beams penetrating solids are discussed.Keywords
