We use the two-fluid, two-dimensional hydrodynamic model, proposed in (Mowbray et al., 2004), to describe the collective response of a carbon nanotube’s σ and π electrons to fast ions moving parallel to the nanotube. In the present contribution, two extensions of this model are being made: (1) to the case of multi-walled carbon nanotubes, where the inter-wall electrostatic interaction gives rise to rich plasma spectra, and (2) generalization to include a dielectric medium surrounding the nanotube.
