Abstract
Charge-exchange injection by means of carbon foils is a widely used method in accelerators. This paper discusses two critical issues concerning the use of carbon foils: efficiency and lifetime. An energy scaling of stripping efficiency was suggested and compared with measurements. Several factors that determine the foil lifetime—energy deposition, heating, stress and buckling—were studied by using the simulation codes MARS and ANSYS.
