What Does CHERS Stand For?

CHERS stands for Charge Exchange Recombination Spectroscopy

Charge Exchange Recombination Spectroscopy (CHERS) is a diagnostic technique used in plasma physics and astrophysics to analyze the interaction between charged ions and neutral atoms. This method enables the measurement of spectral lines emitted during the recombination of ions with electrons or neutral particles, providing valuable insights into plasma conditions, temperature, density, and other fundamental properties. CHERS is particularly useful in studying stellar atmospheres, fusion plasmas, and space environments.
