Evidence that Clouds of keV Hydrogen Ion Clusters Bounce Elastically from a Solid Surface
Abstract
The behavior of hydrogen ion clusters is tested by an inject/hold/extract technique in a Penning-Malmberg trap. The timing pattern of the extraction signals is consistent with the clusters bouncing elastically from a detector several times. The ion clusters behave more like an elastic fluid than a beam of ions.
