Charge-Changing Cross Sections of 736 A MeV 28Si on Carbon Targets**Supported by the National Natural Science Foundation of China under Grant Nos 11075100, 11347198 and 11565001, and the Shanxi Provincial Science Foundation under Grant No 2011011001-2.

Abstract

The total and partial charge-changing cross sections of 28Si on carbon targets at 736 and 723 A MeV are studied by CR-39 plastic nuclear track detectors using the HSP-1000 microscope system and the PitFit track measurement software. The values of the total charge-changing cross section are and at 736 and 723 A MeV, respectively. The result is compared with the ones obtained by other experimental and theoretical results. The odd–even effect of the partial charge-changing cross section is observed.
