“…8-13. 4 The model predictions for the partial cross sections show stronger energy dependence than our measurements, and we found significant discrepancies, especially in the lower energy region. The deviations between the measured and the calculated cross sections for the fragments with ∆Z = 1, 2, and 3 at the projectile energy 255…”

“…However, the fragmentation of carbon ion is not yet fully understood. Several measurements of the charge-changing cross sections of carbon in water and tissue materials have been performed [4,5]. If compared to the predictions of different models [6,7,8,9,10,11], significant discrepancies are observed.…”

We have studied charged nuclear fragments produced by 200 -400 MeV/nucleon carbon ions, interacting with water and polycarbonate, using a newly developed emulsion detector. Total and partial charge-changing cross sections for the production of B, Be, and Li fragments were measured and compared with both previously published measurements, and model predictions. This study is of importance for validating and improving carbon ion therapy treatment planning systems, and for estimating the radiological risks for personnel on space missions, since carbon is a significant component of the Galactic Cosmic Rays.

“…As a prerequisite for a correct prediction of positron emitter production, the fluence of primary and secondary particles has to be accurately reproduced by the code. For validation, fragmentation of therapeutic ion beams in tissue-like material was studied in comparison to experimental data from Schall et al (1996) and Schall (1994). In this experiment, fluence distributions of primary ions and projectile fragments of a given charge Z were measured by detecting the escaping particles from an adjustable water absorber (0-25.5 cm) bombarded by 12 C, 14 N and 16 O beams at about 670 AMeV initial energy.…”

The modeling of ion transport and interactions in matter is a subject of growing interest, driven by the continuous increase of possible application fields. These include hadron therapy, dosimetry, and space missions, but there are also several issues involving fundamental research, accelerator physics, and cosmic ray physics, where a reliable description of heavy ion induced cascades is important.In the present work, the capabilities of the FLUKA code for ion beams will be briefly recalled and some recent developments presented. Applications of the code to the simulation of therapeutic carbon, nitrogen and oxygen ion beams, and of iron beams, which are of direct interest for space mission related experiments, will be also presented together with interesting consideration relative to the evaluation of dosimetric quantities. Both applications involve ion beams in the AGeV range. Ó 2005 Published by Elsevier Ltd on behalf of COSPAR.

“…However, the projectile fragmentation products can cause an undesired dose beyond the Bragg peak. Though this effect can be estimated if the charge-changing cross sections of carbon ions in tissue equivalent materials, e.g., water, is known and the cross sections were measured in several experiments [3], yet the current knowledge of fragmentation of carbon ion is not satisfactory and experimental studies have been carried out in recent years [4].…”

The R&D project to study nuclear fragmentation using emulsion in attempt to improve the accuracy of dose calculation in carbon ion radiotherapy has been carried out at NIRS-HIMAC since 2003. Based on the developed techniques, we are accumulating experimental data of fragmentation reactions for various beams and target Preprint submitted to Elsevier Science 11 December 2008combinations. In this programme we are also developing the practical application of hybrid apparatus of emulsion and CR-39, and performing basic study of gold deposition development in order to improve measurement of ionization.
