The following information substitutes for 5 indistinct figures.

 

Figure 7: Pulse-height spectrum for the Canberra detector for 200 keV Ar+ at normal incidence. The y-axis shows the counts for 60 seconds, and the x-axis shows the measured energy.  The main peak energy and its FWHM are given in the upper left corner in the figure (main peak: 139.3 keV; FWHM: 50 keV). Date: 8-31-94.

 

Figure 8: Pulse-height spectrum for theCanberra detector for 200 keV Ar+ at 1º incidence.  Main peak: 130.1 keV; FWHM: 45 keV. Date:  8-31-94.

 

Figure 9: Pulse-height spectrum for the Canberra detector for 200 keV Ar+ at 2º incidence.  Main peak: 122.2 keV; FWHM: 38 keV. Date: 8-31-94.

 

Figure 10: Pulse-height spectrum for the Canberra detector for 200 keV Ar+ at 4º incidence.  Main peak: 117.9 keV; FWHM: 40 keV. Date: 8-31-94.

 

Figure 11: Pulse-height spectrum for the Canberra detector for 200 keV Ar+ at 8º incidence.  Main peak: 118.1 keV; FWHM: 35 keV. Date: 8-31-94.
