Stripping Foil Data Analysis

This report summarises the results of a recent study carried out using the REX-ISOLDE Linac beam and stripping foils installed in the last diagnostic box (DB5) before the bending magnet. The aim of the campaign was to measure the effect of stripping foils on the beam energy and energy spread, and validate the type of foils to be used as beam purification devices to remove contamination in A/q in the new superconducting linac that will be installed in the next years for the upgrade in intensity and energy of ISOLDE facility, HIE – ISOLDE project. Different foils and beam energies were used for the test. Some simulations with SRIM 2012 were done in order to compare experimental data with simulated one.
