Popis: We measured the average electronic charge $〈q〉$ of heavy ions with atomic numbers $Z=89$ through 116 traversing dilute hydrogen gas with velocities ranging from 1 to 2.6 times the Bohr velocity. We observe a strong linear dependence of the average charge on the velocity of the ions, and only a weak dependence on their atomic number Z. A more detailed examination of the experimental results shows that the $〈q〉$ values reflect the influence of the $5f$ electron shell on the properties of these elements.
