Cd. Denton et al., CONTRIBUTION OF NUCLEAR-SCATTERING TO THE ENERGY-LOSS DISTRIBUTION OFPROTONS IN CARBON FOILS, Nuclear instruments & methods in physics research. Section B, Beam interactions with materials and atoms, 135(1-4), 1998, pp. 45-49
We have developed a simulation code to study the energy loss distribut
ion of energetic protons after traversing a thin amorphous carbon foil
. The electronic interactions among the proton and the target electron
s were taken into account using a realistic description of the solid,
and the nuclear scattering events were considered by means of a Monte
Carlo procedure. Our results compare fairly well with experimental ene
rgy loss distributions. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science B.V.
