Abstract

The DRAGON (detector of recoils and gamma-rays of nuclear reactions) setup at the ISAC radioactive ion beam facility of TRIUMF, Vancouver, was used to measure the energy loss of stable neon and magnesium as well as of radioactive sodium ions (energy range 200–1150 keV/u) in hydrogen gas. Stopping power values were determined and (as no previous experimental data around the stopping power maximum existed) compared to the available semi-empirical codes SRIM 2000, SRIM 2003, ATIMA and MSTAR. The experimental data seems to favor the new SRIM 2003 approach and will hopefully provide input to a further improvement of the parameter set.
