Abstract :
An examination of heavy ion beam profiles using viewing targets and CCD cameras at both the NSCL and GSI shows highly structured patterns. These structures generally have a 3-fold symmetry reflecting the highly- magnetized nature of the ion formation within the plasma chamber. A program of experiment and modeling with KOBRA3-INP [1], TRANSPORT [2], GICOSY [3] is continuing. Results of this program to date are discussed.
