| Research Abstract |
The determination of W, an average energy to produce an ion pair, for heavy ions in gases at atmospheric pressures has been made using heavy-ion beams from an accelerator as a function of the particle energy. For heavy ions except for He^<2+>, the energy dependence of W was clearly observed, while W for He^<2+> was approximately constant over a wide range of the energy. The differential values of W (w) were also measured and are almost equal to the value of W for He^<2+>.
