Abstract
A model for describing the charge distribution of fast multicharged ions passing through a substance is proposed. It takes the ion energy loss into account. The target thickness that is required to establish the equilibrium charge distribution increases as the ion energy and nuclear charge increase. It is shown that the charge distribution of fast heavy ions is nonequilibrium for the majority of their range.
