The gas density was varied over a wide range to observe the onsetKeywords: AMS; Charge state; Charge state distribution; Electron loss; Electrostatic deflectors; Gas density; Gas stripper; Gas stripping; High probability; Mean charge; Single-collision; Tandem accelerators; Uranium oxides; Argon; Carbon; Gases; Helium; Negative i AMS; Charge state distributions; Multiply-charged ions; Tandem acceleratorsInvestigation of gas stripping at 4.1 MeV for high mass negative ions201310.1016/j.nimb.2012.01.0192016-02-24
