If the reconnection were to take place at a steady rate, the ion energy would show a continuous latitudinal dispersion.
Between these two regions, a step in the ion energy will be observed, corresponding to the period of little or no reconnection between the pulses.
At low ion energies, the approximation of independent collisions between atoms starts to break down.
At high ion energies, there may also be energy losses due to nuclear reactions, but such processes are not normally described by stopping power.
The loss of ion energy in the target is called stopping and can be simulated with the binary collision approximation method.
This meant that instead of many high energy ions hitting one another, the ion energy spread out into a bell curve.
Gripped now in a mighty mailed fist crackling with ion energy.
These pairs can be detected by applying a voltage across the detector and measuring the current, providing an effective measurement of the ion energy.
But already Pyphoros was striding toward her, his fingertips crackling with lambent blue ion energy.
However, depending on ion energy, sputtering of the reactor walls or the substrate may still occur.
