Abstract

Processes of accelerated ions attenuation due to the resonance charge exchange and elastic scattering processes are examined in the paper. In addition, we study the process of generation for charge exchange and elastic scattering ions. We estimated numerically the attenuation process of accelerated ions and of secondary particles flows.
