Energy losses of 252Cf fission fragments in thin foils
Abstract The stopping power of fission fragments from 252Cf(sf) has been measured in thin foils of C, Ni, Au, Al2O3 and Mylar as a function of fragment mass and energy. The chosen stopping materials are frequently used as the backing of sources and targets or entrance windows of gas detectors. The experimental setup allowed registration of velocities of two fission fragments and energy of one of them. In this way fragment masses could be unambiguously determined and the pulse-height defect of the silicon detector verified. The measured stopping power data for fission fragments cover masses between A = 101 and A = 148. The results are compared with semi-empirical predictions of SRIM 2003 cod…
Energy loss of 132Xe-ions in thin foils
Abstract The energy loss of 132Xe-ions in C, Al, Ni, Ag, Lu, Au, Pb and Th foils was measured in the energy range from 0.1 to 5 MeV/u using the TOF-E method. The results are compared with previously published data and with the predictions of several computer codes. They include theoretical codes: PASS, CASP, semi-empirical programs: SRIM, LET and the Hubert table predictions.
