The BigSol Superconducting Solenoid Beam Line at the Texas A&M Superconducting Cyclotron has been used to measure energy losses of (40)Ar, (84)Kr, (197)Au and (238)U ions in mylar, aluminum and isobutane at energies ranging from the Bragg peak up to several MeV/nucleon. The experimental data are compared with predictions from the SRIM code. In general experimental data for (40)Ar and (84)Kr are in agreement with model predictions whereas differences on the order of 10% are evidenced in some cases for (197)Au and (238)U ions especially at and around the Bragg peak energies.

Abstract

The BigSol Superconducting Solenoid Beam Line at the Texas A&M Superconducting Cyclotron has been used to measure energy losses of (40)Ar, (84)Kr, (197)Au and (238)U ions in mylar, aluminum and isobutane at energies ranging from the Bragg peak up to several MeV/nucleon. The experimental data are compared with predictions from the SRIM code. In general experimental data for (40)Ar and (84)Kr are in agreement with model predictions whereas differences on the order of 10% are evidenced in some cases for (197)Au and (238)U ions especially at and around the Bragg peak energies.
