Abstract
The guiding of 60 keV O6+ ions along capillaries in an Al2O3 membrane is studied. The charge state distribution and the angular distribution of the ions transmitted through the capillaries are measured. The ion guiding ability of the concerned capillaries for the used projectile ions is analyzed, and is compared with other results using PC and alumina capillaries. Qualitative agreement is found. Further studies on material influence on the ion guiding power of the capillaries are needed.
