Towards quantitative Low Energy Ion Scattering on CaSiO from Comparison to Multiple-Scattering-Resolved Dynamical Binary Collision Approximation Simulations
Johannes Brötzner, Matthias Kogler, Paul S. Szabo +6
We perform Low Energy Ion Scattering with He ions ranging in energy from 1 keV to 3 keV on CaSiO using a commercial electrostatic detector system and determine the charge fract…

Sputter Yields of the Lunar Surface: Experimental Validation and Numerical Modelling of Solar Wind Sputtering of Apollo 16 Soils
Johannes Brötzner, Herbert Biber, Paul Stefan Szabo +12
Sputtering by solar wind ions is a key process driving the ejection of high-energy particles into the exospheres of airless bodies like asteroids, Mercury and the Moon. In view of…
