Abstract

A 570 MeV/nucleon argon Bevalac beam was degraded in water and stopped in a stack of Lexan plastic nuclear track detectors. By means of track etching and computerized image analysis, the tracks of beam fragments were measured between 18 and 22 g/cm 2 which is downstream of the original particles stopping point (17.6 g/cm 2). The charge distribution of the fragments measured in this experiment and the charge-specific distributions of stopping points in the plastic stack for the fragments are presented. The stopping point distributions are compared with results of a Monte Carlo calculation.
