Summary of the Information Provided by Various Experimental Parameters

parameters measurements information
beam (Aun+q) sample SI emission backward emission forward emission
velocity & n fixed thickness yields as f(thickness) depth of interaction depth of interaction or attenuation range
velocity & n fixed thickness cluster distribution as f(thickness) depth of interaction, electronic excitation, coherent effect coherent motion signature
velocity for a fixed n thickness yields as f(thickness), cluster distribution as f(thickness) influence of the impact energy range as f(V), energy loss as f(V), coherent motion
n for a given velocity thickness yields as f(thickness), cluster distribution as f(thickness) influence of n range as f(n), coherent motion, energy loss as f(n)
