Fragmentation of56Fe in Al at 1.88A GeV

Measurement of total and partial charge changing and charge pick-up cross-sections for 300AMeV Fe26+ beam in Al with a new system of analysis

“…The chemical composition of galactic cosmic rays (GCR) in interstellar space changes because of the fragmentation of heavy ions while interacting with interstellar gas [3]. Fragmentation cross-sections of different projectiles in various media are required to understand the propagation of GCR through the interstellar medium.…”
