The first experimental values for the stopping power of 89Y ions in carbon, nickel and gold

Abstract The stopping power values of 89 Y ions in carbon, nickel and gold were measured with accuracy to better than 5% in the energy range from 0.03 to 8.2 MeV/u. The newly developed B-TOF method was used for the measurements. The results are compared with theoretical and semi-empirical predictions. For this ion/absorber combination no prior experimental data are available.
