1. Study of Supersonic Deuterium Beams Gianangelo (Nino) Bracco Department of Physics & INFN University of Genoa, Italy FUTUREJET Meeting November 3rd/4th 2011 at GSI Dept. of Physics and Technology & Michelsen Center University of Bergen, Norway

2. source Supersonic beam Skimmer Parallel velocity distribution Central streamline Perpendicular velocity distribution The back projection of v perpendicular determines the width w s of the virtual source (Beijerinck, 1981). Region of molecular collision: continuum flow Collisionless region: molecular flow Beam velocity V, velocity spread  V (speed ratio S=(2  log 2)V/  V
