Relating Energetic Ion Spectra to Energetic Neutral Atoms

Heliospheric energetic neutral atoms (ENAs) originate from energetic ions that are neutralized by charge exchange with neutral atoms in the heliosheath and very local interstellar medium (VLISM). Since neutral atoms are unaffected by electromagnetic fields, they propagate ballistically with the same...
