Abstract

The ranges and range distributions of 15N ions in gold have been measured for incident-ion energies in the range 0.4 to 6.4 MeV, by observing the yield of a resonance in the 15N (p, αγ) 12C reaction. This technique can be extended to measurements on the stopping of other ions in solids. The experimental results are compared with theories of the slowing down of heavy ions and a satisfactory description of the stopping is presented in terms of these theories.
