Abstract
Precision measurements were made of the energy of the light and heavy fission fragments of 252 98Cf in air at thicknesses from zero to 1.235 mgcm 2. A least square fit was made to each set of data. The derivative of each analytical expression yields the linear energy transfer (LET) vs air thickness. Results indicate that over the range of data in these measurements, better agreement is obtained with the calculations of Northcliffe and Schilling (ref. [1]: Nucl. Data Tab. A7 (1970) 233) than with those of Ziegler (ref. [2]: Stopping and Ranges of Ions in Matter, Vol 5 (Pergamon, New York 1980)
