7. The effect related to the projectile beam density is neglected since the beam density is normally orders of magnitude smaller than the target density.
8. The thermal motion of the target atoms does not affect the resonance condition (9) if γ ≪ √c/u, where u is the mean thermal velocity of the target atoms.
9. We assume that the spread of the ion velocities in the projectile beam is small enough in order that the condition (9) is (or is not) simultaneously met for the overwhelming majority of the ions.
