G. Lanzano et al., LOSS OF LIGHT CHARGED-PARTICLES BY NUCLEAR-INTERACTIONS IN BAF2 CRYSTALS, Nuclear instruments & methods in physics research. Section A, Accelerators, spectrometers, detectors and associated equipment, 332(1-2), 1993, pp. 161-168
The nuclear interaction probability of light charged particles in BaF2
crystals has been studied as a function of the incident Particle ener
gy. Light charged particles were identified in charge and mass by meas
uring their magnetic rigidity and their time-of-flight. The percentage
of particles undergoing nuclear interactions has been measured for pa
rticles of charge from Z = 1 to Z = 6 and the experimental data are co
mpared with the results of a model calculation.
